AddictionRun Flee Retreat! Get away from The beast that haunts You, taunts you, goads you Shows you pleasures, desires beyond the Dreams of wild, sleepless abandon. Come Away! Come away, before it consumes every fibre of Mortality, every shred of morality that is the gift Of frail humanity. It drills, it spills strange words and Great visions of lust, power, all things that could be, should Be yours. You are protected, defended, don’t worry your pretty little head In matters that are beyond your control. Way beyond your control, for you Lost it when you took that firstAddiction
