Judgemental Addiction
People judge your addiction
Because they don't understand
How anyone could let life
Get so far out of hand.
They don't see there's a battle
You have to fight every day
Against the demons inside you
Hoping they go away.
While you watch your life
Spiral out of control,
Slipping further out of hand
And tormenting your soul.
You know you need help,
But you're too weak to ask.
When it comes to relieving pain,
Only drugs do the task.
They will fill the hole
That is in your heart
And put your soul to rest,
A feeling you hope won't depart.
It's the only comfort you get
In this life of yours
As the drug overcomes you
And your mind soars.
You think, "Why am I fighting?
I'm never going to win."
This high is your only escape
From this hell you live in.
