Why can’t I stop myself?
This addiction I can’t fight—
I’m in darkness, I need your light
Even though this fire burns me,
Putting salt in these old wounds
Is like taking a rusty harpoon
Right through my right knee.

Why can’t I stop myself?
I said I’d quit, was my mantra was a lie?
A false truth said one too many times?
Or was it honesty, an introspective truth?
Temporary like the morning dew,
As fleeting as the sunset’s hue?
I couldn’t keep away, not from you.
