Addiction

by enfant du tordu chagrin   Jan 24, 2006


No, you're wrong, you can't be right
No way will I give up this fight
Who are you to tell me how?
To live my life, what to do now

I don't believe you, what you say
It can't be true, no chance, no way
I see you standing grinning at me
Why can't you just let me be?

Are you right, how can I know?
Why won't you just let me grow?
I can't escape all your advice
To live your way there is a price

You look so carefree, without doubt
Conscience clear, worried of nought
Each minute grasped, each second wrung
Of each possible moment of fun

But when I look deep into your eyes
I see the pain that lines inside
The spell breaks, I see below
And all that you do not show

Your pride has drained, its clear to see
In how you stand here, before me
Slouched, defeated, you've no pride
Where has it gone, how has it died?

You want freedom? You want fun?
Look after no one but number one?
Look at the cost, only your soul
Gone to the devil, his rightful toll

So knowing this why's it still tough
To say "no thanks, it's not enough"
Momentary pleasure is what you preach
But I feel there's more within my reach

I turn away and know not when
It is that you'll tempt me again
To free myself of all this weight
That I bear to live life straight

But I know that the time is near
No way to escape, my mind's unclear
For with all whom my discussions heat
I'm the only one who I can never beat..........
