Breakdown

Addiction.

Breakdown

Distorted and addicted
Didn't have to end like this,
My mind waits in ecstasy
As the needle hits the vein.

Everything falls apart
Waves crash inside my head
All these useless drugs
Complete my empty days.

Live like there's no tomorrow
Is the motto for today,
Drifting 'round for hours
Living inside my head.

Hesitate by don't refuse
Deprived of all my thoughts
Everything turns to dust
Suffocating in my own stench.

Kill myself a little each day
To pass away the pain
If someone doesn't save me soon
I won't make it through alive.

Never said I was proud
Of all the things I've done
I've nothing left to give,
You took it all away.

Distorted and addicted
Didn't have to end like this,
My mind waits in ecstasy
As the needle his my vein.
