Hello my name is Ariana,
and i'm addicted to music,
every sound-wave,
a toxic symphony in my head,
carrying me to safety,
camouflaging my problems,
with smokey melodies,
polluting my bloodstream,
pumping through my heart,
ravishing my lungs with song,

like every addict i get withdrawal,
zombie-like,
I shake and jitter just waiting for a fix,
in the bathroom shooting up,
headphones injecting melody in to my brain,
and once again my worry,
my stress,
my depression,
tied up and dragged away by an aux cord,

standing outside inhaling the melodic words,
i hold them in my lungs,
they are the only thing that keeps me tethered,
hooking me,
heightening me,
hiding me from my loved ones,
bringing me high above the ground i stand on,
sharing my high with them is all i can do.
