Cravings
I need booze to sleep
I’m drowning deep
In misery
My heart has a serious injury
I need pills to feel
I need drugs to heal
My internal pain
I feel like I might relapse again
These pills are slowly killing me
I need to flee
Away from this toxic place
I need to be in a safe space
To make better choices
I’m sick of hearing voices
I feel like I’m going crazy
My vision is going hazy
I love getting ed up
I never want to grow up
I’m addicted to pain
My brain is
Getting harder to maintain
Addiction is a monster
That I can’t tame
I have no self control
I’m digging myself deeper
In this hole
I need to drink
To cope with my loneliness
I’m nothing more than a drunk
I’m just a stupid punk
Who let’s everyone down
I can’t live without the bottle
I live with risks
Like I’m on full throttle
