Magnet Addiction

Sex, drugs, alcohol,
Addictions drawing you in,
A magnet of strength,
A strong pull.

I feel you in my veins,
I taste you down my throat, 
I want you in my blood,
Make the trembling disappear.

Flying high in the sky,
More and more it just wont stop.

Slow motion, fast paced,
Life flashes before my eyes,
Heart racing, skin sweating,
Loosing my sanity,
Loosing it all.

Crashing, falling, in to death.
Crashing falling, escaping from this love.

Too easy, this is making me queasy,
Voices in my head,
Convincing me i am better off dead.

Struggling each day,
Sometimes i just may,
Resolve or heal, rise along.

Breaking that magnet,
Crawling away and running,
One fix is never enough.
