Livin' The Dream

Intro:
People brag about Livin’ The Dream
Let me tell you about my dream
 
In my dream I am alone and broken
Whatever I once had is lost
To a vicious cycle of vodka and coke
And I have paid such a terrible cost
 
In my dream my self-esteem is gone
I no longer have any friends
If only I had known the fate that would come
From pursuing such horrible ends
 
In my dream my wife and kids have left
As I disgustingly drove them away
And it was such a laughable sight
When I begged them all to stay
 
In my dream, they knew what I knew
And it’s that I wouldn’t stop
Drinking and shooting my life away
Until there was nowhere further to drop
 
In my dream I thought I had self-control
But that thought was just a lie
Whenever I see myself in a mirror
I just want to die
 
In my dream my life may as well be over
As each day is lost in a fog
I can’t believe what I’ve done to myself
I am just another junkyard dog
 
And in my dream each day is a nightmare
Each day, the same recurring theme
Each day, I wish would be my last
My God, I wish this was only a dream
