Addiction
Once again, sleep deprived
In this aim to just find
A useless rhyme
That none will even
Take the time to
Take a look around
In this lyrical realm
In a land so profound
Where music surrounds
Never seen something like this once in your life
Where a man goes back
To a world filled with strife
Where his kids and wife left him
They all gone
Lost to the needle injected arm, they done
He eats, he sleeps, he does routinely timed shits
That's all he knows like his dealer does dinero
He doesn't see that there's a way to break free
In this world of pain, lost in all these memories
Gotta take accountability of wrong doing
No reminiscing
But instead doing the pursuing
Of living a better life
No needles, no crack pipes
Where you walk in the rain, see nothing but sunshine
This is what he needs in order to achieve life
With his family
No cyclically relapsing
He is simply the only one who holds the key
To achieving his very own prosperity
If only there was a way, if only there was a day
That I could make all the pain go away without doing steps to change
I'd seize it in less than a minute
I don't have the heart to win it
This itch is back, I'mma stick it in it
I'm bout to relapse any minute!
I don't see any way that I can be a better man
The only time I frolic is through is through fields of heroin
Breaking news, this just in
I've been following
The way of my past man
And it is just a shame
Can't be put into another fucking spectacle
Because right now I got my neck into my own choke hold
My eyes have gone droopy and my brain's gone loco
Can't see, can't breathe
I'm doing my own smothering!
Addiction is why the pain always resides
I can fight or hide but It'll never subside
No matter what I do, I still think about you
Substance abuse, I'll forever choose
Addiction is why the pain always resides
I can fight or hide but It'll never subside
No matter what I do, I still think about you
Substance abuse, I'll forever choose
Looking back at my past
I can see that I was free
From feeling something
Constantly controlling me
While there were so many good times
While I was high
Where my body lied in a sun skied paradise
I suffered extreme lows
Every time the wind blown
To the point my back broke
Suffering from limbo
And I know I gotta pick a side
I can live this life in strife
Going back every night to feel alright, or
I could cut it off for good
Lord even knows I should
I just wish that I can
Put these urges on a ban
It's on my mind, all the time
Feeling so sublime
When I allow toxins in my life
How can I say goodbye!
I cannot put it behind
For when I'm closing my eyes
I'm seeing vivid pictures of a happy life
Push away fam and friends
It won't matter in the end
My life is worth nothing
But with it I am something
So like a zombie walking
I enter the cycle starting
Another wave of pain
Mixed with love and dopamine
For me to be clean
Is like asking Charlie Sheen
To use a fucking jimmy
When engaging in winning
Addiction is why the pain always resides
I can fight or hide but It'll never subside
No matter what I do, I still think about you
Substance abuse, I'll forever choose
Addiction is why the pain always resides
I can fight or hide but It'll never subside
No matter what I do, I still think about you
Substance abuse, I'll forever choose
In order to be happy
I know
I gotta let you go
I cannot grow old
When I still got you ahold
Cause you're gonna cause my death
To salvage what I have left
I'm making this my final message
So don't be deaf
I'll be real quick when I spit this spiritual shit
When I tell you I quit
I'm done
No more of it, yes
I'm an addict
But I'm storing you in a dusty attic
Like Anne Frank, locked away
While she breathes so asthmatic
If I reopen the cage one day
You stay still so stagnant
Unattractive like a dead, unfed, hairless rabbit
I know if I go to grab it
It'll poison and turn me rabid
It won't happen gradually
Instead affects rapidly
This dastardly, Promethazine
Got my head spinning dangerously
I wean off and selfishly down some Dramamine
Helps to distract me, with other things
Simultaneously
Feeling unseen, by both friends and family
My shoulders feeling gravity
And my heart's aching heavily
Push away remedies
Addiction kills longevity
I just don't foresee a future
Of me being clean
For the ability of sobriety
Is stopped by memories
I'm addicted
In this aim to just find
A useless rhyme
That none will even
Take the time to
Take a look around
In this lyrical realm
In a land so profound
Where music surrounds
