Alcohol
She makes you go high
And seems to get rid of your troubles
But makes a sane man sleep in gutters
Her addiction you can hardly conquer
When you think you've got it covered
It's when you lose it all
She makes you fade away like old ink
Just trying to get rid of a memory that haunts but refuses to decay
She makes you defamed
And releases your secrets to the public
From the bosom of your heart
She makes you dance uncontrollably
To the beat being played
Mindless away from your troubles
Yet waking up to more pain
As the stinging headache gets you up in the morning
She's a death trap
Her stench
Oh!! The smell
She extracts the truth in you
And carries away your thoughts
Just for a little while
She can make you see
what's not really there
Her influence you can't comprehend
She's an enchantress
Who in a sip puts you under a spell
Her name is alcohol.......A beast in disguise!
