Absent Minded
2wrongs dont make it right
Im mentally ill
and everyone knows i take medication
many people know that drinking and drugs
will cause me to get more sick in the future
but everywhere i go
im always offered a drink
I'm always offered a toke
as if through most people knowing of my illness and meds
they get to play malpractice
and emotional blackmail
and make me the ten year joke
Today i'm not well
but tomorrow they'll get me good
I'll be sick as hell in a week all because
i should have learned to say no
its a simple concept
if you care dont use with me
because in a few more years i wont be soo well anymore
and there is no saving me from my broken brain
thanks to those who sought me out
to corrupt my mind or so it seems
so if you wish to keep me in this condition or similar
then dont drink with your crazy friends on meds
because in a few more years they wont be recogniseable
and its their fault but you have to live with yourselves
and your crab syndrome my friends
So look in the mirror today and tell yourself to clue in
tell yourself four things you need to remember and realise
because my friends wont allow me to ever be around sobriety
i always have to say no
and if i didnt id be worse off than i am today
but all those times i didnt say no i'll never get back
and in a few more years when it catches up
i guess I'll see the hard way who was really my friend
who kept mer drunk and who stopped drinking with me
and whose still around
even though im supposedly crazier than they are now.....
So heres a medicine you know is harmfull when combined with tomatoe juice
why is everyone offering me tomatoe juice?
why is all of the sudden everyone throwing parties with tomatoe sauce
and lots of ketchup?
some people know the truth of the harms the medicine can cause when
mixed with certaiun things
those who do and still insist i try this or that eat that or drink this
wether mushrooms or shrubs weed or spirits
is that really the right thing?
and why is there no way for me to protect myself from emotional blackmail from these people
12 steps to freedom sure
but everyday precautions when the radio hooks you in
and the television is its sidekick
Im truly not your equal
I'm crazy remember
sure im on meds that dont mix with alcohol
oh what are you drinking?
i sure am thirsty
and chances are in five years when i go totally menatl your not going to kno w me
but you have to live with yourself
