Analysis of Awaken Sleeping Fears
Beer comes in bottle or can,
ready to numb any pain.
And drank by woman or man,
it rushes straight to their brain.
Alcohol rules its domain,
mimicking feelings of love.
To escape you need abstain,
dust it off and rise above.
Anguish distilled from tears,
it's an elixir of vice.
For it'll awaken sleeping fears,
and demand you pay the price.
As Death feeds off toxic drink,
depression inks your world black.
For taking you to the brink,
alcoholism cuts no slack.
