Hello Liz
Today you drank some brandy
but it did more than get you drunk
you were supposed to walk a dog today
but you fell asleep
you were supposed to talk to your mom today
but you fell asleep
you were supposed to have a fun day today
but you wasted it
while wasted
it is never worth it
when you open your eyes
it is never worth it
that next glass
you can never drink again
it is cut and dry
your blood is brandy by now
your blood is poison now
80 proof
fix it
or you will die
I said it was cut and dry
you will never be happy with alcohol in your life
give it up
this is you talking
the real you that is peeking through
let this speak louder than they do
this is you
you want to be free
just give it up
