TeenHelp - Finding Escape in Addiction

I know I should probably take some time and rethink
And weigh all the pros and cons of this self-medication
But I just love the burn I get from that special drink
As well as that sweet taste of practical liberation

Another thing to possibly reconsider is the pills
And remember those close calls to death
But I just live for the moment they give me chills
Leaving me quite simply out of breath

But because my secret addictions have been discovered
I have to be even more discreet than before
I just hope my secret stashes don’t come uncovered
Because then I’d have to find a way to get some more

And the only way to escape the people lurking in my head
Is to use these physical addictions to make them go away
I don’t care that this is a dangerous path I tread
Because this is what I need to make it through the day
