It flows through my veins
it leads me on an adventure bound in chains
the path is dark with no place to turn
why does it feel like I have to earn my place in this so called life
my addiction knows no control
in the night it grows
in the day I’m froze
I didn’t choose this addiction it chose me
I don’t feel like a winner
but I look in the mirror
n see I’m getting thinner
all because of the doctors prescription
he robbed me of my subscription to this life
8 years old and I’m eating adderall
I wonder did they know how far I would fall
this addiction won’t let go
maybe because I can’t let you go
chase the memories with another pill
hoping to drown out your empty promises
it feels like rock bottom isn’t bottomless
I just wonder how much further I can go
time has sat still since my brothers murder
now I’m just a lost wanderer in this life
how long till I arrive to the pearly gates
because I know I won’t survive this addiction
Amber now walks with shadows
and my brother took 20 bullets for me
he became Katniss
while I was Primrose
this path made me face death
I even had to watch her last breath
this addiction is a threat to my life
how could someone explain to mom
this addiction hit me like a bomb
once upon a time I was happy
now I’m just a junkie with no money
I was dummy for trying those pills
I just gotta wonder how much we further I’ll go
because this addiction is in full control
