Addiction is like a clingy serial killer.
It starts with a lure;
Are you stressed?
Do you need sleep?
Look at my selection, take your pick and cure your troubles from work.
Once he has you in his grasp, he begins his demands and your trapped; hooked on his line.
Every night, he wants more from you, whispering all the reasons you need him as you're wrapped in his arms.
You give and he takes, convincing you that somehow, your end of the exchange is greater.
How much can he deceive you before it becomes unbelievable?
You can only be your own superhero, so stop waiting for something else to come save you.
Because soon enough, he'll ask for your kidneys.
If you refuse, he'll squeeze til' they bleed, popped like the sleep aids mixed with your drinks.
The 'need' is all in your head so please...
Stop before it's more than your spirit that's dead.
