Addiction is My something bitter My something sweet An unholy nightmare I partly love But mostly hate My happiness ripped away Like cement from a building I cannot move For inside out I am crumbling All around me my house is collapsing As I find myself wide open Standing in the rain Which keeps falling Just need a little more numbing As I am bound to my body Like an Egyptian mummy A fight I can not win Give me another Another drink Another pill Another line I am not sure If I can even tell The difference anymore A vacuum under my feet Where floor boards Once met My self esteem gone A diminishing will that Once stood like a mountain Is now just empty Canyon I am Sledging in the snow Sliding down a mountain But some how all My joy has gone My desire dissolving Into a glass as My heart has given in As I fall into a drain   Humiliated I feel As I escape into another pill As I am truly conquered But not by a great army Just my weak will Slipping to my death In quicksand I am sinking And all I think is Is Spar Open Skidding on black ice I can see I am about to crash But I can not even flinch Just have another drink As I take another dive If only there was Something inside of me That could say Lets stay a Live Then maybe I could pull Myself Out of this My unholy nightmare I partly love But mostly hate My something bitter My something sweet But mostly I hate

ADDICTION
Addiction is My something bitter My something sweet An unholy nightmare I partly love But mostly hate My happiness ripped away Like cement from a building I cannot move For inside out I am crumbling All around me my house is collapsing As I find myself wide open Standing in the rain Which keeps falling Just need a little more numbing As I am bound to my body Like an Egyptian mummy A fight I can not win Give me another Another drink Another pill Another line I am not sure If I can even tell The difference anymore A vacuum under my feet Where floor boards Once met My self esteem gone A diminishing will that Once stood like a mountain Is now just empty Canyon I am Sledging in the snow Sliding down a mountain But some how all My joy has gone My desire dissolving Into a glass as My heart has given in As I fall into a drain   Humiliated I feel As I escape into another pill As I am truly conquered But not by a great army Just my weak will Slipping to my death In quicksand I am sinking And all I think is Is Spar Open Skidding on black ice I can see I am about to crash But I can not even flinch Just have another drink As I take another dive If only there was Something inside of me That could say Lets stay a Live Then maybe I could pull Myself Out of this My unholy nightmare I partly love But mostly hate My something bitter My something sweet But mostly I hate
I just wanted to make the point that often addiction comes when life for some reason has taken away someones basic happiness
