Real Life Hunger Games

The struggle of addiction.

I’m watching everything slip away
Its always the same, its always the same
Suspended in the balance of my day to day
I need an escape, I need an escape
And the drugs they call my name
The sirens song, the devils game
They ask me if I want to play
what to say, what to say
got me by my shadow
And they won’t let go
They remind me of what once was
I know, I know
Can’t shake you off
Can’t be rid of you
What’s a weak will to do
what’s a weak will to do
The silence is loud enough to stick on deaf ears
I can hear, I can hear
Relentlessly baiting, calling, waiting
Getting near, getting near
They see the secrets
They know, they know
They feed on them
They won’t let go
I can’t get away
I need an escape
I’ve become a player
In a dangerous way
I beg them to go
I beg them to stay
Its an exhausting game
Of love and hate
Fill my hunger
Ease my pain
Make the lonely go away
I want to play, I want to play
Im a prisoner of this lust
And its driving me insane
Yeah, no one wins competimg
In the real hunger games.
