Addiction
September 2, 2014
Pound after pound
I've lost my control,
Purge after purge
I've lost my own soul;
Lie after lie
I've forgotten the truth,
Minute after minute
I'm losing my youth.
Scale after scale
I've found my addiction,
Mirror after mirror
I've found my new sin.
Time after time
I've found how to relax;
Tear after tear
I've found my relapse.
Number after number
I've lost my fight,
Calorie after calorie
I've lost my life.
