Addicted To the Pain
Addicted to the pain
Reaching out for help would be vain
Many woes I have slain
Happy only when feeling drained
No point trying to abstain
Letting my demons dance in the rain
What is destined is insane
A one-way ticket for a dead-end train
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Only confined by invisible chains
Flowing free like the blood in my veins
Kept in a cage constructed by my brain
The world visible through the window pane
I shall not move, I stay in my lane
With all of my options, I light the butane
For I am, addicted to the pain
