Your trying to strangle me with your sorrow soaked thoughts
Letting this poisonous feeling of guilt run through my veins
I used to hold this head up proudly but you showed me who I really am,
Just another soulless body strung through a lifetime of lies
Finally realizing that addiction is a funny word
I’ve become inhuman, only looking for one thing
A high to cover up the insecurities that drowned out the thoughts of better ambitions
I’m locked in a game where I’ll never win and my body pays the toll
When the numbing leaves and the true pain shines through is when I realize
I need to get out, dead or alive
Letting the crimson red pour down my palms, hasn’t washed away the fears that take over
I wish this uncontrollable need for you; this high, would finally take me back down
And just leave me in this drug soaked alley to sink away like every other soul in this town
