The residue cries Dripping as I continue The war is raging Insanity versus freedom The addiction is afraid And my eyes witness hell The habit longs to speak I wait for peace and quiet In the dying fights madness I swim beyond the spectres Hollow promises and minions Statistics grow roots I'm in a percentile of success Also arrogance The voices of ghosts attempt to haunt I merely wait it out No longer absorbing abuse Daylight on my horizons

Detoxing
The residue cries Dripping as I continue The war is raging Insanity versus freedom The addiction is afraid And my eyes witness hell The habit longs to speak I wait for peace and quiet In the dying fights madness I swim beyond the spectres Hollow promises and minions Statistics grow roots I'm in a percentile of success Also arrogance The voices of ghosts attempt to haunt I merely wait it out No longer absorbing abuse Daylight on my horizons
