jacob nash - addiction lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m about to do something that i know i’ll regret
if i can go back in time, i’ll end up taking it back
if i could rewind the hands of time, i wouldn’t be here at all
i would fix my problem before it became a problem at all
my solution would be to never get into it in the first place
i’d resist the temptation no matter how much effort it takes
but i can’t go back in time and i’m about to give in
if only i could muster up enough strength from within
to resist, but i know later i’ll just be back here again
and i don’t know whether i’ll be able to resist this then
maybe i should put my hope in some kind of a higher power
i’m trying praying, but honestly i’ve already tried this before
and it didn’t help me before, so why should it help me right now?
if there’s a god out there, listen to me and please show me how
to climb out of this hole i’m stuck in, which has gotten so deep
i would climb my way out, but the sides have just gotten too steep
i’ve only got one hope and that’s climbing out with a rope
i could tie it around my waist, so someone could lift me out
my point is i doubt i can make it out of this situation myself
i’m probably going to need somebody else’s help

[hook]
i’m broken and uncertain about whether i can be fixed
i’m stuck in this situation. i just want to get out of this
everything seems to worsen and i’m getting sick of it
my problem is an addiction and i can’t seem to quit

[verse 2]
alcoholism: some people say it’s a hereditary disease
if you’ve got it, it’s not your fault. it just runs in your genes
because some people get it while others are more resistant
and there are some who say that about every kind of an addiction
well, it’s clearly an addiction, but a lot of people see
it differently, because everybody is effected uniquely by drinking
well, i’d say that drinking is just another addiction
but i’d be quick to admit that it can be an especially serious one
some addictions may be worse than others, but they’re basically the same
when you take your first drink, social drinking may be your aim
but once you’re addicted for life, you’re the only one to blame
taking an alcoholic drink is like playing a gambling game
it’s like russian roulette. when your life’s at stake, will you take the bet?
if not, you had better never bother to even light a cigarette
or drink some beer, shoot some heroin, or snort some crack
because once you’re addicted, there could be no going back
and why would you want to be a druggy that doesn’t contribute to society?
it’s better to abstain from drugs and to practice sobriety
otherwise, you might never be able to live your life to its entirety
an addiction could ruin your life or make you die prematurely

[hook]

[verse 3]
for anyone who decides to ruin their lives these days
you came to the right person. i know a lot of different ways
for you to go about getting into some kind of an addiction
or some other kind of situation that you can get stuck in
you can get into s-x addiction, gambling, or self mutilation
or of course, there’s illegal drugs or prescription medication
you can even try making a living by selling them
but if you get caught, you could wind up in the prison system
and once you’re free, it’ll be tough to get a job with that on your record
but you should probably just be thankful that you didn’t get murdered
because it isn’t too uncommon for a drug dealer to get capped
for their money and drugs. that’s the reason hustlers stay strapped
violence just so happens to go along with living illegally
and it’s never really safe to make a living dishonestly
using drugs is up to you, but they’re not for me
my only exception is caffeine and medicine used as directed
i’ll only take a drug if i need it and i’ll never abuse it
not even a little bit. i won’t do anything addictive
i won’t be abusing any substance. i’ll keep a clean conscience
and make my own decisions instead of being under the influencee

[hook]
