about

First single off Johnny R's upcoming project "The Open Book Theory"

lyrics

(That's pretty much how I ended up drinking at home...alone. Just me and whatever bottle of booze I had and a head full of shit. Pretty much just hoping to either figure it all out or fall asleep)

See I've been lost been broken all alone and outta place/
I've made mistakes and been so high feelin forever stuck in outer space/
I don't got it all together much but who said it was easy though/
Surrendered to the crutch I clutch watching my addiction grow/
Staring in the mirror I wanna rip this person outta me/
Repair it all you want it's still an addictive personality/
From bad to worse what's it worth cause now I'm livin a nightmare/
Admitting defeat always hurts but my demons don't fight fair/
I'm givin up I've had enough but please don't be mistaken me/
Quitting's not a plus you can see how bad it's breaking me/
Erasing who I used to be I chose this way don't disagree/
That one day it'll ruin me so brutally I guarantee/
It's my life my fight I know the cost I'll pay the price/
The design of this device is the cause ain't got me thinkin right/
Drinkin every single night till I no longer remember me/
I'm tired of livin this dismal life I need to find the remedy/

They said don't get lost follow the leader/
And don't do that be a believer/
When the sun goes down you better hide/
It's a dangerous world better stay inside/
And run along, run along/
It's a long, long way home from here/
Run along, run along/
It's a long, long way home from here/

Six months and I'm sober I finally got my composure/
The sickest composer who fought like a soldier and lifted the boulder right off of his shoulders/
I killed the addiction and finally found closure and now that it's over I move myself closer/
And push myself forward up and outta the darkness now I'm conscious/
I am no longer a target I took the pain and I harnessed it/
I shook the reins now the fact remains that I'm back in the game and I'm confident/
This battle I haven't yet conquered it my will power is monstrous/
I tower over this downer shit and stomp it out don't doubt me bitch/
I'm back with a vengeance don't think I ain't tempted I live every second the way you'd expect it/
I give it my all to break through the walls remake how I'm made and brush myself off/
I refuse to live with regret but I recollect when I reflect/
On how I use to be depressed a drunken mess it's hard to digest/
But I'm blessed enough to be alive the other shit I push aside/
You ain't gonna be my demise I can see right through your disguise/
But I know I can never rest at ease I know right where the devil sleeps/
I'm on a different level see I won't let him get the best of me/

They said don't get lost follow the leader/
And don't do that be a believer/
When the sun goes down you better hide/
It's a dangerous world better stay inside/
And run along, run along/
It's a long, long way home from here/
Run along, run along/
It's a long, long way home from here/

(I drink because I like to drink...Okay, I like to drink. I like vodka and I like whiskey, but I'd pretty much drink anything you put in front of me that had alcohol in it because I love to drink)
