The pain swallows me up,
and I'm drowning in it,
and I hurt,
and I silently scream,
but I don't want it to go away,
because I'm addicted to the pain.
And when the psychiatrist,
solemn and serious behind his desk,
prescribes the pills,
I don't want to take them,
because I don't want it to go away,
because I'm addicted to the pain.
I know it's unhealthy,
but I feel empty,
without the pain,
as I've become used to it,
and I don't want it to go away,
because I'm addicted to the pain.
