The Truth (Addiction)

I’ll tell you a story, a story about truth, the truth about love and what it can do,

Now for a few years Ive had one thing on my mind,

I search everyday, Ive went out of my mind,

because i want and I need it , without it I'm alone,

Ive gave up my life my family and my home.

Its why I wake up, without it I cant sleep,

I know in my conscious I'm in way too deep.

Because now i cant live without it in my life,

its gives me strength, courage and a reason to fight,

but when its not near I sweat and I shake,

I cant be without it I'm gone its too late,

so I try to keep going even though I'm so sick,

because I know once I have it everything will click,

ill have power and strength, just like before,

but I'm so use to the effects I cant feel it anymore,

so I search for another brand… no there’s not just one,

it comes in many sizes and colors, I couldn’t just pick one,

but I am not alone there are others as well,

who are a slave to their love for this burden form hell,

some are so obvious but others are smart,

people you’d never dream let this thing in their heart.

A teacher at school, a lady form choir,

it feeds off anyone who gives into desire.

Your neighbor your doctor, your companion or spouse,

it tries to get everyone and leaves no one out,

but the thing we all have in common and what makes us the same, is that were devoted and that’s not going to change,

in the end well have nothing if we have anything at all,

we’ll know we’ve been defeated and were all going to fall,

the truth is were addicted, though were in denial,

We say we can stop, but were off by a mile,

The truth is we cant no matter who says what,

The addiction comes first and its not going to stop,

If we wouldn’t do it for our kids, or our husbands and wives why would we now, we’ve already ruined our lives,

We’ve lost all we care about if we haven’t we will, don’t you know not to come between people and pills,

It doesn’t do any good no matter what you can say,

Like I said we are gone, we cant stay away,

Now its just a hunt, everyday a new game how many can I take before I go insane.

We don’t care that you worry, you sit up and cry,

Afraid next time you hear form us it will be that we’ve died,

Its not about you its how we feel,

We don’t care about anyone,

We care about pills.
