mr relapse


Sitting here daydreaming
All the time my brain is…
Scheming, scheming, scheming.
 
Even given all I know
My brain just wants
Another go, another go
 
Consequences do not deter me now 
It won't hurt, here's how
 
Nothing can stop this train
My addled alcoholic brain
 
Perhaps I will die
Or go insane
Lets roll the dice
Play the game
 
It's not my fault
I am a product
Of the system
Anyway – this time
It will be different
