Relapse

The past will have a tendency to repeat itself if it is ignored.

~ Why are addictions so addicting? ~


We're relapsing. 
We're falling back into our forbidden ways. 
From this drug, we had a withdrawal reaction. 
But this time we don't want to be saved. 

All the voices tell us what to do. 
They're pointing to all the signs. 
But you admit it too:
Chaos is the perfect world we've created in our minds.

It's a scary world outside,
But then I take one dose of you.
I close my eyes.
It's an endless ride I thought I already knew.

You're addictive.
I can't discard you like all remedies I try.
And I've tried, but the withdrawal's vindictive.
So we're back reaching for the bottle this time.

We've been through all the highs,
And I've suffered from many side affects.
Sitting here, the highs flood my mind.
I'm addicted to all the defects.

Have we become addicted to insanity?
Are we comfortable in the fatal world we created?
Is that why we thrive on abnormality,
Living life in a state of sedation?

There's so much history
Written on the back of this plastic bottle.
I take your pills and instantly feel the chemistry. 
I know it's wrong, but I still swallow.

Here we are. We're relapsing again. 
How many times will we be back in this state of no return?
Will we have to go through rehabilitation again?
How many times will I think I've learned?

We're relapsing. 
I think we like to give into our addictions. 
We're addicted to this chemical reaction. 
So we grab a bottle and choke down another one.
