Addiction runs deep in my veins
Into my soul and out again
Tormenting my emotions
Raping my conscience
Destroying all that I am
And all I could be.

Admittance is the first step
If I want a way out
But I'm hooked on the feeling
Of hopeless doubt.
Something to call my own
Something to hold on to
Knowing 'It' will remain
To love me through my pain.

Addiction is an addiction
I can never overcome it
But only learn to cope
And better how to turn my back on it.

Turn your back on the fear -
Turn your back on the loneliness -
Turn your back on the hate -
Turn your back on the pain -
Turn your back on the very addiction
Running through your veins
