My Beautiful Addiction

I lie here in an empty freezing prison cell, Alone apart from the black mirror in my hands. How long I have been here I couldn't say, A prisoner and jailor with the key in one. You're my nicotine, my beautiful addiction, Always there morning, noon and night. You're my loyal friend and trusted confidant, And source of information to entertainment. I can lose myself in the worlds you created, Allowing me to forget about all my troubles. I can be reborn as anyone I choose to be, With the freedom to do anything I want. You're my nicotine, my beautiful addiction, Always there morning, noon and night. You're my loyal friend and trusted confidant, And source of information to entertainment. I know you will never leave me like they did, But I really should look beyond these walls. Unlock the door to where it all can come alive, And set all my senses free and soul awaken. You're my nicotine, my beautiful addiction, Always there morning, noon and night. You're my loyal friend and trusted confidant, And source of information to entertainment. I don't know what to do or where to go first, My beautiful addiction. Maybe five more minutes for you'll show me, My beautiful addiction.
