Silent Escape

Chasing highs
Bloodshot eyes
Desperate journey
In the haze
Cravings raise
Going to my darkened place

Empty space
False embrace
My addiction whispers
Out of guides
Soul resides
This is where my hope subsides

Substance seduction I want them all
I am restrained by a chemical thrall
Painkillers whisper a silent escape
Don’t wake me up from this gentle embrace

Calling my dealer my sweet toxic friend
Stuck in addiction that will never end
I am in pain and I need to get numb
Drinking my cocktail with powder and rum

Caught in the grip of a merciless tide
Drowning in sorrow when I almost died
Searching for solace in a pill’s disguise
A senseless illusion the truth never lies

Substance seduction I want them all
I am restrained by a chemical thrall
Painkillers whisper a silent escape
Don’t wake me up from this gentle embrace

Calling my dealer my sweet toxic friend
Stuck in addiction that will never end
I am in pain and I need to get numb
Drinking my cocktail with powder and rum

Caught in the grip of a merciless tide
Drowning in sorrow when I almost died
Searching for solace in a pill’s disguise
A senseless illusion the truth never lies

Oh sweet deceiver my feelings decay
I need you now ‘cause I’m fading away

Caught in the grip of a merciless tide
Drowning in sorrow when I almost died
Searching for solace in a pill’s disguise
A senseless illusion the truth never lies

Chasing highs
Bloodshot eyes
Desperate journey
In the haze
Cravings raise
Going to my darkened place

Empty space
False embrace
My addiction whispers
Out of guides
Soul resides
This is where my hope subsides
