I am doing it anyway

Liquor anointed my favorite genes

I bled so much to try to get clean

Beauty in nature turned my mind green

I swam in circles in a lake filled with bleach

I wanted flowers but got slow growing seeds

My past self shook the hand of the new me

Doctors stamped broken on my case

But, sweetheart, I am doing it anyway

Religion taught me I should have faith

Call me born again cause I’ve found a way
