Rid This Demon
I only want one change
A change for all with a drunken father
I don't mean to sound like a whiner
Nor do I want to be a bother
but I say this now
because I know I'm not alone
delete the alcohol
because this is no home
home sweet home
is what the saying said
I only wish to be happy
instead of wishing to be dead
i apologize if I sound suicidal
but alcohol abuse isn't cool
i may not be perfect either
and I'm absolutely no fool
no. I want to be the son you've always wanted
you say you want things right again
Yet I can't when you let the abuse take over
and I never want to make amends
I'll be fine without a father
though, I'd rather you be around
I simply can't take this anymore
And I refuse to be held down
so this may just seem
like another sad rhyme
but if alcohol were illegal
i wouldn't have to cherish every second of time
