Pick Your Poison
January 3, 2011
Pick your poison
It's all the same
An addiction is an addiction
They are all the same
A smoke to calm the nerves
A shot to numb the pain
A hit to mask reality
A drink to hide the shame
Sweets to make you feel safe
Sweat because your ashamed
Energy to feel alive
Vomit to look the same
A pill to hide away
A cut to shed the stains
Sex to feel the love
Purge to stop the gain
Smokes, drinks, drugs, and pain
Pick your poison,
We're all to blame.
