Deeper Into Addiction: Finale, the Cure

Life became so much easier When I accepted the inevitable My heart's so frail, it'll stop before long The end is only a few years away I'm sober again My stinging liquid lifeblood, no longer a crutch A treat, to be sure But no longer required My memories don't hurt They aren't locked away But I accept them for what they are Memories, only that When the end became certain Life brightened up The skies became clear The waves became calm My sight opened up To take in the view My thoughts organized To accept what they must I can smile again Now that my addictions are dead The sun's about to set But I can truly live until then.
