The Addict

 
I'm the one who needs an escape, a release for all this pain
I need a certain thing to keep me staying sane
I'm a torn soul between what I think I need and I what I know is wrong
I've been caught in this state of mind for far too long
The urge to give in, the urge to just relapse
It tears me apart and it makes me wanna collapse
I'm the one that hides within myself cause I don't want people to know
That this pain is what I can't let go
I keep my secret in this dark shell
Cause I'm scared for anyone to know that I'm mentally in hell
I find that one thing that takes away the sorrow in me
But it changes me to someone I don't wanna be
It's a big problem and I'm sorry that I have it
But it's time for you to know now, I am the addict.
