Legally Addicted

Legally Addicted Legally Addicted I'm a slave a prisoner to its sweet nectar. It calls to me like human flesh calls to Hannibal Lecter. My lips need its sweet syrup to quench their desert dryness, Without this elixir i cannot live my life to its fullest and in diviners, Withdrawals make me a living corps the walking dead lifeless, A demon risen from the depths of hell, Living this hellish lifestyle is where I dwell, Consumed by a solution never will I be able to dispel I am damned to this addictions laws and orders I cannot be the arguer for the horror I will endure would be torture, Do you really think I planned for it to be this way I am captive a hostage in each and every way day by day, Prescribed by a physician you fully trust and whom you listen, However they failed to mention the slight issue with this prescription, That being the addiction, as time goes by the dose fly's sky high, My body cries with hunger pains that I just cant satisfy, An unquenchable thirst so bad you think you may die, There's no escaping the yearnings and cravings, The need for it is to great should you try behaving, Then inevitably you will be left in a catatonic state, Addiction has stolen my life, I cannot exists without it which I hate, This unholy shadow haunts me following me closely, Its impossible to abstain from such a euphoric feeling, The more I use more layers begin peeking and peeling, Revealing the depth of the addictions destruction and domination, This poison begins to rot the flesh resulting in ruination, Who knew such pure liquid ecstasy causes such catastrophe,
