Addiction

April 9, 2010 - 15:47

You know it's bad
But you still want more
Always feeling sad, mad
All down in your core

Reason every way
Justify every action
Anything you can say
Just to get satisfaction

But it never comes
You never feel good
Only feeling numb
You wish you could

You want it to end
You can't take anymore
But it won't bend
Never exiting that door

Close all the windows
Lock all the locks
Only God really knows
How your life is blocked

You keep a dirty secret
No one really knows
There is no safety net
Here come the crows

You want more
You need more
You'll never have more
You can't be without more

It is your everything
You know it's nothing
You'll do anything
Just to feel that thing

It is a confliction
It is an affliction
You need conviction
I have an addiction
