Of Reverie - What Keeps Me Alive lyrics

In desperate times you cling to the bottle to chase away The thoughts that burrow within your mind I am fighting to fix this I know it's hard but know that hope is with us The vices that were k**ing me Always kept me alive Because in my frame of mind I'm always the one who's losing sight Like vice grips around my neck I'm reminded of what I lack Blurred vision never ceased to fail me So pull me out and rid me of this disease So I'll breathe it in, breathe it in Substance abuse was always my friend But I guess a dose of reality was never enough So I'll drown out the fact that I always cared too much When it's pain you're sinking in Don't lose yourself in shame again There's always a way for you to let it out Talk to me and I can help Take a breath and never let it go Swallow the sorrow and then you'll know You will never be all alone Take a breath Then you'll know you will never be on your own I can't fight the addiction It's all I can see and it's k**ing me It rots in my veins and has become my reality Just hold on tight and you can make it through the night When it feels like you need a fix just to survive And now you'll see it's just a matter of time Before you realize there's so much more to life I have seen this before These lucid thoughts that I can't control How can I see that there's more to life When I'm clinging to a bottle just to survive The vices that were k**ing me Always kept me alive But I will always fight to see the brighter side of life Like vice grips around my neck I know now that this can't hold me back For all of those that are fighting to fix this I know it's hard but hope is with us
