Addict

Standard

Laying semi unconscious,
On my sitting room floor,
Asking for it all to stop,
But for some reason begging for more,
Drugged up to my eyeballs,
And pissed out of my head,
Because I’m alive,
But inside I feel dead,
I hear on a distant radio,
“Love will set you free”
And I scream at the top of my voice,
Somebody please just save me!!!
I cry some more,
And then some more again,
Cry myself to sleep,
With my shadow being my only friend,
Draw out more money,
Already in my overdraft,
Buy some cocaine,
And try to have a laugh,
And I hear on a distant Radio,
“Love will set you Free”
I smile,
Just for a little bit,
As me and my dealer,
Snort and talk about preference to tits,
He lets me be,
As he has to work late,
And I sniff more coke,
And for a while I feel great,
Smoke a cigarette,
One after the other,
Go back to my baggie,
Just for another,
And I hear on a distant Radio,
“Love will set you free”,
And as I cry myself to sleep,
I whisper….
Somebody please just love me.
