The Sweetest Drug

Click goes the lock on the door Keys thrown on the table Light flicked on Waitress uniform Taken off Life, taken on I can’t sustain myself On silk charades and mental games Memories to make, are too far away The best I can do, is bottle it up and put it behind a mirror Like prescription medicine too potent For this tiny frame The Sweetest Drug I’ve ever had Is the bitter pill of you I’ve got a problem And I don’t know what to do about it Spending half the night Fishing metaphors out of buckets To explain to him How strong This addiction Will become He’s my sweetest drug Constantly on my mind I can’t get anything done When a part of him isn’t in my system These feelings multiply Every second that he’s gone Baby, you.. Have you any idea? My affliction Won’t let me live I get so confused Simply put When I’m in bed, alone Shadows play on the wall Telling stories I refuse to repeat My eyes see a world of eternal clichés Restless legs and fluttering eyelashes From dusk til dawn Painted acrylic emotions jaded Spill down around my waist My logic, is gone I know I should stay away from it It’s no good for me But I find myself running to the medicine cabinet Frantically searching Because The Sweetest Drug I’ve ever had Is the bitter pill of you
