Oblivion

There’s a traitor bred deep inside me Circling sublime and deceiving my mind Beating this heart as a clenched fist keeping time A repetition I have fought, like tradition an unwinding defines inception Seditions equal 1000 miles of disgrace Dare I tell you of my place A death walks in every shadow Attached to the Silhouette like a black cat Iniquities playground complete with a shrouded habit Priviledged phantom betrayer is mine She emerges and begs for fires within And enormous qualities of compassion Dancing for keeps with oppression no turning back for the high cost of reflection There is no place to hide decision No unharmed order for reason No intellect in the drug chosen Desire is convicted, confined and blind the first time you cheat life of pains design The feel of cold steel under my skin Cracks the hollow’s door completely open Step into and follow Oblivion’s seduction Her abyss has no reminisce Only Deprivation holding my ambitions hopeless A single drop of blood escapes Accepting my breath as a promise of bliss Deceiver, my coward has taken a final kiss Exposed with only one thing left to see the dark parts inside of me Terry D’Arcy-Ryan

Addiction, a compulsion something you do over and over despite the consequences. Despite the consequences, this is what determines whether your addiction is a monster or the devil himself.
