I have been here before, I recognize this place,
The familiar pain residing in my heart,
This inward battle I am fighting,
I began steadily losing from the start.

It's clear to others I am failing,
Constantly chasing after this buzz,
My portrait now lifeless and distorted,
I can no longer remember the girl i was.

My spirit is heavy, weighed down with
The burden of guilt and regretful heartache,
Dependency slowly consumes me alive,
It's becoming too difficult for my soul to take.

I'm finally ready to surrender,
I wave my white flag high, let the drugs win,
Now it's over. Addiction has conquered the war,
Raging on underneath my skin.
