Addiction
You think you're nothing, but you're wrong
Moments of weakness make you strong
Walking the streets every day
Somehow you have lost your way
This world can be cruel, it's true
You've make it a hurting place for you
Wandering around, so out of place
A life of humiliation and disgrace
Addiction causes so much pain
Yet, you do it over and over again
Into yourself, that's where you hide
Shoot the needle, good-by pride
Can't you hear your soul cry
It's begging you, to please try
Give yourself a chance to live
The ignorance, you must forgive
Reach out and take my hand
Don't you know that, I understand
