Life Of Addiction

A Life of Addiction

I started with a sip, a puff, a pill
Just to feel a little thrill
But soon I craved for more and more
And lost control of what I swore

I sold my soul, my health, my dreams
To chase the high that never seems
To fill the void inside my chest
Or ease the pain that never rests

I hurt the ones who loved me most
And pushed away their care and trust
I lied, I stole, I cheated, I fought
And blamed the world for my own faults

I hit the rock bottom of despair
And faced the truth that no one cared
If I lived or died or suffered more
Or found the peace I longed for

I had a choice to make that day
To change my life or waste away
But addiction had me in its grip
And I chose to take another hit
