My addiction is an affliction. The pain inside drives me insane. The medication. The Revelations. Psychotic mind. Confusion.
I can't function in society with these chemical dependencies. All these drugs going through my brain I don't feel no pain.
My philosophy. Hardcore pornography. A slave to the machine. The corruption was my seduction. Now I'm poisoned by this kiss of death.
I can't go on like this. Barely breathing day to day. I can't go on like this. A prisoner trapped in a maze.
Another night on the town. Another score a simple fix. Get a drink, buy another round. Another toxic chemical mix.
I wake up every morning just to bow to you. I'm drowning every night to avoid what's true.
