Passion. Obsession. Dependence. Addiction.

Even more hope…

We started somewhere — that we remember,

Now we wish we could change the hands of time but we couldn’t.

We just wanted to know.

We were curious — what was it about?

Maybe it was the influence

No, it was the pressure

Till it was the second and then the third.

We lost control, we lost count

We couldn’t stop

Ridiculous! It is!

but we can’t

We are losing our minds

Understand

It wasn’t intentional

Now it’s killing us

We feel it

But we can’t… we cannot

It’s like we are drowning

No one understands

Everyone blames

They keep pointing fingers

Help, Help

We keep failing, we keep falling

Eyes dim

Only tears

We promised ‘..not again’
