Addicted


I was on the verge of total annihilation 
So it was time to get some rehabilitation 
Can’t believe it was a doctor that got 
me addicted 
That’s something I would have never 
predicted 
Before I realized it I had lost all control 
My free will, it had definitely stole 
I was tired of being alone and 
disconnected 
Praying for my life to be resurrected 
I got down on my hands and knees
Begging that I could beat this 
disease 
I was so far gone, I  had nothing 
to give
But I kept pushing forward cause I 
wanted to live 
For so many years I lived a life of 
oppression 
Getting sober is now my new obsession 
Tough letting go of what  I thought 
was my identity 
Now I’m one step closer to finding 
true serenity
