Addiction Abandoned by Trinity Theory from Bellville South Africa

Addiction Abandoned

All that remains is pleasure then pain
But still there is nothing to be gained
Why are there always three of you?
Which one will stop the pain?

Addiction abandoned
Break the cycle not the rules we live with
Look it in the eyes and face it
Then stare it down

Fill up again with pleasure with pain
And again the bottom seems so far
Again and again and again
You cannot shake the returning scars

No answers no comment
Just empty glasses and broken bottles
Down at the bottom you’ll only find torment
Till the last drop falls

Addiction abandoned
Not the torture we both fell in love with
Look it in the eyes and face it
Then stare it down

Fill up again with pleasure with pain
And again the bottom seems so far
Again and again and again
You cannot shake the returning scars

Fill up again with pleasure with pain
Empty conscience of being enslaved
Time and time again yourself to blame
Cannot escape this cryptic grave

It seems the only answer, only comment
Lies in the pleading stares of the black book
The gripping voice speaks through the pages
Of the ever lost, sometimes to be found

And still the bottle stares
Only this time it’s easy to reject.
The spoken words now reflect
A clean conscience to protect

Still you got struggles to deal with
Even though the storm has cleared
The same old pile of fears
Of nightmares, of nightmares
