The Battle Against Alcohol

I've never seen the sun shine so bright
I've never seen the stars twinkle in the night
I'm holding on to faith hoping I can change
No whispers in my head making me feel strange

I know that I can fight this on my own
My old life i'll leave behind and come back home
Believe me when I say
I'm still here

The past it creeps again, calling me
But I just turn my head and think of where I want to be
I think of all the nights i'd cry myself to sleep
And all the times i've died inside wasted in the street

I know that I can fight this on my own
My old life i'll leave behind and come back home
Believe me when I say
I'm still here..........

I told you I could fight this on my own
My old life I left behind and came back home
Trust me when I say
Believe when I say
I'm still here..........

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was a song I wrote inspired by the downfall and recovery process of Ed Mitchell through a long battle against alcohol.
