THE POISON AND THE CURE

Under the influence with just one dose
I felt it coarsing through my veins
Intoxicated and I was so high
I never thought I’d be in pain

But then I started needing more and more
until it burned under my skin
I tried to take a stand and stop it cold
I swore I’d never fall again

It’s medication that’s self-inflicted
It’s damn addictive and it seems so pure . . .

Love is the poison and the cure

Left untreated with my fate unknown
my recovery was at risk
Since I found the perfect antidote
I’ve been feeling total bliss

I never could have done it on my own
I needed treatment to get clean
Being committed has been good for me
now I have everything I need

It’s medication that’s self-inflicted
It’s damn addictive and it seems so pure . . .
