going through recovery this is what we go through.

Life of an Addict

Living that rehab life

Living that junkie life

We are all fighting for our lives

It’s not easy when that’s only been our life

We have the power to change the world

All we have to do is make better choices

We have to put in the effort

We have to put in that fight

We can’t go back out; it can be our last night

We are fighting the light and dark

We are fighting the angels and demons

We have to say no with all our might

Even though self-will is telling us it’s not right

All we wanted was to be normal

But we ended up having that allergy

It doesn’t matter though because with sobriety we can find our light, learn to be free, and can live to see.

Living that rehab life

Living that junkie life
