about

Every time I abstain from drinking, I eat healthy, and exercise for extended periods of time, my head feels like it’s on a little more straight and my view/perception on everything expands. Which is great, but then I always get bored and revert back to my old ways.

lyrics

I’m here again; this temptress had a hold of me. She’s a match and I’ve been drinking gasoline
to fuel the fire, indulging my desires.
As seasons come and seasons go, I’m indisposed, giving up and giving in to every woe.
It’s time to take the blinders from my eyes ‘cause I’m feeling alive!
Slap my hand, I must resist. Thirty years I must dismiss.
Change is in store, this long tunnel is no more. So give me some stereo.
My head is clear now that you have disappeared. The door has closed.
I’m ready, come on!
I’m over days and over nights in your embrace, choking on your stench but breathing anyway.
I love the misery you’ve given me.
Rest assured and rest alone, I’m better now. Moving forward; moving backwards not allowed.
The colors seem to be a bit more bright ‘cause I’m feeling alive!
It’s my choice, I made the call. You’re not such a know it all.
Out of sight and out of my mind. I’ll cross the finish line and prevail big this time. Down with the wicked divine! The insurance goes down when the glory is mine. I’ll be looking straight up just to leave her behind. With my status going up, I am doing fine.
The glory is mine!
