They get you hooked when you’re young
Too young to know what you’re doing
They hit you at your lowest
Give you just a little taste
And before you know it it’s reflexive
Before you know it you can’t quit
The worst part is existing in a world
Where everyone else is addicted too
Who is the pusher?
Who is ******** us over?
No one even wants to know
If you try to quit they lock you up
Give you more to keep you going
But every addict knows
That we’ve all been had
When we wake up in a cold sweat
Choking desperately for more
What would the world look like
Without the veil of dependency?
Will I ever know?
To give up one is to give up the other
Supremely ******* ironic
I bet they’re just doubled over in laughter
At what they’ve done to us
