Falling back into addiction, I need to get away, but I am trapped by my own body, I am trapped by my own feelings. Let me escape, let me be. I know I shouldn't be doing it. I know I shouldn't be begging. You don't want it, you don't need it. Just heal your poisoned body, just heal your poisoned heart. Can't you see what you are doing? Can't you control yourself? Those tears are real. Those aren't what you need. This pain is excruciating. This isn't what you need. Listen to me, I can't see myself in you any longer. You are not me; you are not us. So many times you tried, so many times, but it's always the same. She will play with your heart, she's playing with your mind. Look at me; hear me. You are better than this. Stop it. Don't reach out again.

Relapse
Falling back into addiction, I need to get away, but I am trapped by my own body, I am trapped by my own feelings. Let me escape, let me be. I know I shouldn't be doing it. I know I shouldn't be begging. You don't want it, you don't need it. Just heal your poisoned body, just heal your poisoned heart. Can't you see what you are doing? Can't you control yourself? Those tears are real. Those aren't what you need. This pain is excruciating. This isn't what you need. Listen to me, I can't see myself in you any longer. You are not me; you are not us. So many times you tried, so many times, but it's always the same. She will play with your heart, she's playing with your mind. Look at me; hear me. You are better than this. Stop it. Don't reach out again.
