Recovery
Straight to the point
You need not know my business
Just know that I need recovery
By any means necessary
My addiction is hereditary
And too much of me is bad for my health
Balled-up behind lies and fronts
Waiting to let go
Apprehending the moment
To exhale this stale smoke
My life behind alcohol & drugs
Brings me trials & tribulations
Stimulations & simulations help me get by
I don't know why but now the toxins are piling up
To the point where I shed chronic skin and bleed vodka
Boxed-in, locked-up, chained to high-voltage furnaces
With micro-shock cuffs ­ staring at shot cups
My body has had enough!
I'm waiting to throw up ­ but can't
Swallowing hard each time the occasion arises
With mean mugs and angry eyes I mad-dog enemies
And I don't even bang!
Draining all my resources
Divorced from the forces that got me here
So listen and feel me as I come to these meetings
And put my heart on the table
Unable to wait for my own autopsy
Hello, my name is Beau
And I'm addicted to me
