Addiction

It will never happen to me!
No way . . . I'm as strong as can be
I can have a dabble, I'm in control
never will it drag me in a hole

Look at me I'm on the ride
when I'm done I'll toss it aside
I'll know when the time has come
but right now this is so much fun

Tomorrow I will stop for sure
what the hell, I'll have one more!
It's not until your deep in that hole
you realize holy shit it's got my soul

The girl in the mirror you don't recognise
you only know how much you despise
the reflection staring back in your face
a girl who's life is going to waste

No matter how strong you think you are
it is bigger and stronger than you by far
so much grief and torture it'll bring
it will strip you of your everything

Your dreams, goals and all your desires
gets lost as your brain gets rewired
your thoughts are consumed by your next hit
and then crime you start to commit

At the time you think you're very clever
but now a record that will stay forever
Friends and family you lie and deceive
even from them you will take and thieve

The grips of addiction keeps you so unwell
as a person your just a shell
to the drug you become a slave
and the outcome is usually grave

To get out and try to release the hold
is one of the hardest things I'm told
I want my life back on the rails
I am ready for what that entales
