12 Step Programs

I've tried to do this on my own

Without the help of telephones

The only place I need to be

Is right here where I'm forced to see that

I can fight against disease

Or let it take me out to sea

Either way I just might drown

But I'd rather swim than hit the ground

I'm willing now to do what it takes to see

That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me

So take back your 12 step self help programs

And let me tell you all about how

It was self that got me here in the first place

And self that taught me how to replace

Everything I know with every other option

But the only right way to go

Yeah I'm pretty sure that now it shows

I could never see far past my nose

And I'm almost positive these pills

Are the only thing that ever made me ill so

I'll make it through another week

Despite the fact that I can't sleep

The only problem I can see

Is this is not who I'm meant to be and

I'm ready now to do what it takes to see

That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me

The only I have to hold to is a promise

You put another life inside of me

That's not my own

So take back all your self help programs
