Returned Addiction
Alcohols appearing
Self control seems to be disappearing
I’m standing in the kitchen
Find an old bottle of rum, I start twitching
I feel so eager, I’m trying to resist
Picturing it like a hot day, feeling a cool mist
And how much it can be refreshing
My thirst is just quenching
I try to resist, I’m sick of this habit
I go for a taste, so I go ahead and grab it
At first I was only a little quaking
Now it’s like, I’m completely shaking
I poor some into an old coffee mug
I start drinking it so fast, might as well be bonging it
Waking up in the living room on a rug
As the rooms spinning I realized what I have done
My addiction is back, and it’s only just begun
