Getting Rid of You

You distract me from where I want to be
You destroy my life as well as those around me
You deceive my family, putting false promises in their way
You demolish my friends, watching their lives crumble away

I am determined to get rid of you
I am desiring to kick you out of my house
To say goodbye to you forever is my dream
To wash away the misery you've caused is my fantasy

So watch your back and stay on your guard 
Because I will not rest until you are lying down. cold, lifeless, dead.
