Addiction

I'm going through it
Deep down inside I know the truth is
All this alcohol won't improve it
I've been told I'm clueless, slow, and stupid
A hopeless nuisance, a piece of shit
They used to tell me daily
I don't need a V12 Mercedes
I just need some help in paying all these bills, it's crazy.
They're trying to kill me lately. The pills I'm taking
Are for headaches. I don't do drugs
Mostly because they cost too much
And I don't just mean financially
They'll take a toll on your family
They'll break your soul and humanity
But I suppose that we're actually
All addicts in reality

(Prescription) pills, coke, and weed
(Addiction) kills hopes and dreams
Dollar bills, clothes, and bling
We're all addicted to somethin'

Ecstasy, PCP, Methamphetamine
Ketamine, codeine, and promethazine
Liquor, speed, caffeine, and nicotine
We're all addicted to somethin'

We're all just addicts trying to kick the habit
Trying to live and balance all the shit that happens
All the bills we pay, all the pills we take
'Cause we feel this pain lookin for real escape

We're all addicted to somethin'
Whether it is a substance
You can snort or ingest it or some sort of obsession
Assorted possessions with enormous investments
For the poor and pretentious. No morals or ethics
You're no more or no less any mortal you mention
Sprinkle a little meth in your morning refreshments
And hope they won't be mourning your unfortunate exit
You don't wanna take a trip to the morgue with a death wish
You can keep the Percocets, don't do more than Excedrin
Save the problems for tomorrow, Prozac if you're stressin'
At the bottom of a bottle trying to manage depression
You turn to drugs 'cause they offer relief
It's a crutch when you fall to your knees
You never stop 'cause they call it disease
And self-medication is all that you need

(Prescription) pills, coke, and weed
(Addiction) kills hopes and dreams
Dollar bills, clothes, and bling
We're all addicted to somethin'

Ecstasy, PCP, Methamphetamine
Ketamine, codeine, and promethazine
Liquor, speed, caffeine, and nicotine
We're all addicted to somethin'

We're all just addicts trying to kick the habit
Trying to live and balance all the shit that happens
All the bills we pay, all the pills we take
'Cause we feel this pain lookin for real escape
