DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
I am an addict. It's time to admit it.
I just can't deny it no more.
I know what to do, now it's time that I did it.
It's time that I settled this score.
I have a disease, that surely will kill me,
if I don't do something real quick.
The drugs that I used to get high and to thrill me,
have made me quite terminally sick.
Life used to fill me with beauty and wonder.
God gave me such an advantage.
Since this influence of drugs, I've been under,
Life's become too tough to manage.
I've become someone I almost despise.
It's hard looking into the mirror.
I see this strange person I don't recognize,
filled with confusion and fear.
What I recall of the mem'ries I had,
fill me with pain and with guilt.
Some of them good, but most of them bad.
God, what a monster I've built.
I thought I was strong. I thought I could quit.
I thought I had better control.
Socially, somehow, I thought I could fit.
I swear it was always my goal.
No more excuses and no more denying.
Time to face up to the fact.
I am an addict who's tired of lying,
and cov'ring it up with an act.
So please understand me and please don't condemn me.
Instead, say a prayer for me, please.
Pray that my life finds a brand new assembly,
to deal with this deadly disease.
