I did not know what my choices would do
And how deeply they would affect both me and you
Conditioned to respond to my addictions
By compromising my convictions
I thought that I could handle it all
Through rose-colored glasses of alcohol
But then came along that fateful day
Where the sad truth came and the clouds rolled away
The devil left me alone on that road
Heavy with consequence, burden and load
I realized the sorrow too little too late
The scapegoat I’d become and I swallowed the bait
He left me the bill and tip to pay
He slipped out the door; he’d run away
So now I sit in a concrete cell
Wasting away and living in hell
But God rescued me!
