Friction Addiction...

by DEW

"Unconditional addiction" are these terms, I think of this servitude as good germs, I understand pain is an emotional whip, Drink in this short quip: have a sip. And when you've had your fill, just chill, Break through this illusion with the power of will, When you're striking stones to light your fire, Will lightning be created? That's overkill. We have an addiction to stimulation, An addiction to nonsense, Through every trial and tribulation, I find my mind's dense, When will I stop stumbling? How about a continual fall? Every floor has a ceiling And every ceiling a floor. Without these things, there's nothing But a continual thirst for more. Have I said enough, have we won the game? When you're old and poor, there'll be no one left to blame. Every stranger's face will really be the same. Not one will be your family, not one will share your name. An addiction before you knew the word, An addiction to emptiness, An addiction to "wait, I'm searching" An addiction to "haven't found it yet!" Too often have we lost our way, Too seldom have we stopped our play, And now that we have cut the rope, Your world will fall, now, ain't that dope? Nope. Everything's addicting, How are they put to rest? Stop being conflicting, Just simply pass the test. Outside of reality is inside. Inside reality is outside. It's all one and the same. There's no poison like fame.

Had a lot of fun with this one.

Feels like an 80's rap when I play it in my head; try it out.
