Let sober be your superpower

April 19, 2025


You can tweak your neurotransmitters
Every single day
You can live inside a bottle
But the pain won't go away

You can obey your ball and chain
But it isn't very sane
Missing out on all that sunshine
There's such a better way

Let sober be your superpower
In control and not so dumb
Clean and free and unencumbered
Many happy days to come


Building life around addiction
Crashing cars, constructing fiction
You'll always be a victim
When you're crawling in the haze

Quitting’s hard but drinking’s worse
Don't live your curse inside a hearse
The choice is yours if you accept it
Wake up fresh and seize the day

Let sober be your superpower
In control and not so dumb
Clean and free and unencumbered
Many happy days to come
