The Depth of the Devil with in Us


This crazy little devil called Addiction



Just keeps coming at us with no conviction



It pulls us in and takes a hold



Like a bad hand of cards we tend to fold



As our mind keeps playing these tricks on us



Makin us want to try every drug from coke, heroin, to angel dust



So that we can get just one more high and we don't ask why



Because we think we can take just one more hit



So we spark that devilish drug up till it's lit



And as we get into the depths of addiction



Stumbling down this road called life



Becoming so depressed wanting to pick up a sharp knife



Slit our wrists till there cut just right



Blood drippin down to the floor as we start to feel numb



Numb to the core where our mind and body wants that drug



more and more and we know now



death might be behind the next door



But as our body starts to become faint



we are thinking death well it will be fast and oh so quaint



To take us away from this hellish place



Take us away cause we feel our lives are a disgrace



A disgrace because of all the drugs we take



Cause we have picked them up and made that mistake



But for that time being it took away the pain



That pain that was deep down in our souls



Where we felt we were lost and are thinking process not completely whole



Because the drugs stole away our mind body and dignity



Where we could not see the light at the end of the tunnel



Because we were in so much misery



Now this disease follows us around like it's our shadow



Where it's like our morals are put in some sort of straddle



Pulling our thoughts in all sorts of directions



Where we have to choose between right and wrong



Where at the end we have to decide if our morals now in



sobriety are right and can take us along



Take us on this journey of learning who we are



The insides and outs where we have to set goals



and shoot for the stars



Forgive ourselves but never forget



The pain we felt and the hurt we caused



the people who love us and want to see us strive



Strive to become the person they know we are deep inside
