Denial
They say I have a problem
I just say I see
Point it out exactly
What is wrong with me
The excessive alcohol
You drink every day
It's going to kill you
Is what they say
They tell me it's an excuse
A cowardly way to deal
I say it's my friend
They say I am ill
The drinking is my comfort
A way I can forget
I can stop when I'm ready
I am just not ready yet
Temptation never goes away
Though your cares can
They tell me there is recovery
But I don't understand
I have not a problem I say
I can quit when I decide
Yet the longer it goes on
The more I know I lied
Once a hold of your life
The grip will only tighten
Every time you take a sip
Heavy burdens lighten
You choose the poison
It will take the toll
Once you are consumed
The devil takes your soul
