Riding through oblivion
by
Peter Andrew Gunnis

Drinking is such a waste of a life
But for some of us it is eternal
Everyday we get closer to dying
Maybe that is why?

Alcohol, alcohol, my sweet alcohol
You used to be everything to me
Now you are the thing that reminds me
Of what I used to be

I was never lonely when you were there
Heaven was a place where I could get you without reason
A place where you made me feel like a man
Somewhere in time my life is good

You now have competition for my life
My soul is no longer YOURS to play with
My love for you will never wane
My love for her has a stronger hold

My Sweetie is more to me than you
You will win the occasional battle
Rene will win the war for my life
In fact she is beating you to death

Don't be sad for the loss
the life of a drunk is never an easy one
We change our minds all the time
Of my love for her I will always be true

You are my other lover and when I am with you I feel ashamed
My life with you was a bad dream
You made me do things that I will never be proud of
Hurting people that will never like me again

My life with you was a wild ride through oblivion
And yes I was happy and free
Yet I knew no better,
I was stupid and young
My addiction to you was a scary time
