• Dear Alcohol

  Dear Alcohol…
  1 shot, 2 shots, 3 shots, 4
  You would hold me captive but, no more
  The drink has no grip on me
  I am free, I am free

  You would pull me into false confidence
  Telling me lies about who the real me is
  And when things went wrong you were there
  But when I got caught, you were gone into the air

  For you wanted me at my worst
  You were my curse
  But even curses can be broken
  I could break free and be awoken

  You come fast, but leave slowly
  You arrive like you are running a 100-yard dash

  But I must break free
  You blinded me but I shall see
  You hid me from reality
  But it is reality that should hide from me

  For my chains are gone
  I am free, this cage I was in
  No longer burdens me

  Goodbye alcohol
  God hath saved me
  You may miss me but
  I will never miss thee…

• Me
  by Owen Liberty

  My heart, it breaks
  My brain, it hurts
  My soul, it aches

  For I have lost a friend
  One that I never had
  I lost a love
  That once grace could have

  For what I lost can never be found
  What I lost cuts me to the ground
  I lost a love so great
  I lost a friend so dear yet not

  What did I lose?
  I lost myself
  I lost my drive
  I lost my feeling
  My love inside

  For I gave away my soul to gain the world
  And yet I gained nothing
  Nothing but pain
  Nothing but toil…

  I wish every day to wake up
  When this is over
  For I am tired of living this dream

  I wish every day to be relieved
  Relieved of this dismay
  But I see it not soon
  Or at least not this day

  So I have lost something great
  So great even those words don’t describe
  Something my words seem unworthy to speak
  For I have lost “Me…”
