Addicted

I can not shake this feeling 
There something I need to do 
I don’t think I can get through the day 
If I don’t have you 

You’ve become my only outlet 
To release me from the pain 
The only way I can de-stress 
To disconnect my brain 

I may be over thinking 
I’m trying to make it stop 
There’s a voice I can’t silence in my head 
I think I’ve lost the plot 

I think it makes me calm 
And takes away my fear
But the more I seem to ingest 
The more I disappear 

I’m no longer myself 
It’s taking over me 
I just can’t seem to stop
How do I become free 

I need to make a change 
I’m better than this 
If I continue this way 
How much will I miss
