There's No Turning Back

There was no turning back, I closed my eyes and let it take me

The memories of when I was me faded to black

I looked around to see if anyone noticed glassed eyes filled the room

I took another dip another drive down the Devil's highway

I wanted to go back but that door had closed behind me

Such pressure from the peers kept filling my minds fears

No hesitation, I let go just breathed I took it all in

My deadliest sin, I was true to myself for many years

Just like that I came to fall just like my salty tears

My addiction ran me took over me consumed thee

It ate away at everything around me, an emotional roller coaster

A ride I wanted to get off of but never really tried

The images of the people I hurt haunt my once sweet dreams

My tender youth wasted away to lonely street dreams

Consideration of taking my life was my daily strife

I continued to morn the me that wanted to be

A losing inner battle to be fought by only two

I wanted to be free I wanted to see if I was worthy of myself

The voices in my head called for more

My body ached to get more

Drugs' whore desperation was all me

I owned pity I adored shame

Fixated on guilt I needed to change

I wanted that rush I chased it from the very first day

So tired of making others cry and with each piece of me destroyed

Another piece dies

Letting go is my only hope

I need to be set free and not consumed by these

Things we call drugs

Life is not always what its meant to be

Take charge of your inner beauty focus on doing the duty

you set out to complete
