Addiction

Never been to one of these before

But a buddy of mine says this is the way to start.

Even though what I can’t get enough isn’t a narcotic

I guarantee these words I say are from the heart

Hi, my name is Julius Blake

And I’m addicted to a drug

With a name I can’t bring myself to utter

But surely a drug unlike any other

See this crack, this blue magic

This psychoactive addiction of mine

It’s intertwined

With the lives of everyone on this planet

It permeates everything I do

And everything I say to you

It’s everything to me

I want it so badly, though it seems bad for me

Let me explain it before I name it

Cause I don’t know you that well, you might judge

But the first time I felt it, I wanted to bathe in it

That’s what it does

The second time

I was more prepared

And it wasn’t nearly as jarring this time

I just kind of went with it and enjoyed my high

So high that I never wanted to come down

People were around me, warning me

But that didn’t matter now

I was happy and I was never coming down

But eventually I had to sober up fast

Then I lost it all

My endless supply of my drug

All gone.

And now I’m here strung out

Trying to find a new dealer

Cause the last high got me hooked

And without it, I’m shook

You all know as well as I do

That when you’re addicted one hit is all it takes

You’d do anything for it, anything to feel it once more

No matter the risk or the stakes

Well that’s the gist of how I feel right now

I’ll do anything for just one more hit

I’ll keep looking for my dealer

I won’t ever quit

That’s how I feel about my drug.

My drug called love.

Cause that’s what loves does.

To me.
