Sober


Is there a choice
A purpose of living?
Is there an answer
That I should be giving?
Is there a way,
To be right or wrong?
Is there a choice
To be weak or strong?

I can stay sober,
All my problems,
I cannot do without them
I can stay sober,
Wishing all my problems
Went by

Only the ones
That say they have gat it
Only those creeps that say
You can spot it
Shepherds of doubt,
Warner’s for reason
I don't know
I can't prove their treason

Look at yourself
The steps you've been making
Look at the time
The time it has taken
Look at your parents
What did they do
Look at the future
It's still up to you

You know
These lines
Should be honest
You know
This text should be true
You can believe me
Or hate me
Still it's up to you
