Addiction

Hi Justin, it’s your pal addictionTo think you could be rid of me is just some fictionI make you think you’re in control, but really you’re my slaveThis is the last time, I mean it. Oh really! You don’t say?!Take another drink, pop another pill,You’re so high strung and you need me so that you can just chillYou need a break, come play this new video gameDon’t question it, or think, simply turn off your brainYou justify me, what’s wrong with nicotine? I’m just another stimulant like coffee or caffeineThat’s just it though, too much coffee’s bad tooCreating a dependency is what you doBut also your long term effects are untestedBoth my body and my mind infectedThere’s plenty of chemicals for you insideAmmonia, chromium, nickel, and formaldehydeI’m more than a ritual, I’ve become habitualWithout me you’re left feeling quite residualCome on Justin, be more asceticStill a boy, not a man, it’s rather patheticI don’t need youYes you doNo I don’t, Go awayYou have no power here, and I make my stand todayBut I will always be a part of you, don't you seeAs long as you're alive you can't get rid of meI'm your friend, I've been here since the day that you were bornListen to me, ignore my pitchfork and my hornsI know that you’re a part of me, but your efforts are misguidedWe want to find peace, but our solutions are dividedHow can I convince you we have all we need within?We’re perfectly okay without weed, alcohol, or zynWhatever we resist persists, Carl Jung makes it quite clearThat when you fight your demons you are acting out of fearThe only way to win is to accept they’re here to stayThere are no bad parts, only good, no dragon here to slayYou don’t have to struggle, just relax and take a long deep breathBefriend your vices, demons, dragons 'cause they’re with you ‘til your death
