The Drunkard's Lament
Cigarette in hand, surrounded by empty bottles
Thinking of the days when I lived life at full throttle
Living in my own world created in my mind
Always searching for something I never expect to find
Too many endeavors never worked the way I planned
I started a vicious cycle and became a victim of my own hand
Suffering the fate of a self-induced affliction
Knowing I�d be fine if I could just break this addiction
