I Want To Be Happy'

Another sleepless night on the streets I think I'm going insane With all these voices Inside my head Telling me stories Mostly threat... Addiction isn't my friend All it has done is cause me pain Thus Bringing forth more friends But These things Are evil Tormenters of the mind In search of the soul They attack and wear down the psyche A familiar practice in hell Where love is preyed upon And happiness is a smile As he with the dead eyes tortures another soul endlessly All I hear is screaming Coming from such a nasty little thing A bad spirit that's trying Me.... It's voice so vile I've killed many Devils and demons were the worst Killers of a child And Yet .... I still struggle with. A product of the choices I've made in life Drugs and gluttony calling my name Deadly sin was bad But Sadness is the same. Addiction is the voice inside my head. It won't get my soul So it says it'll settle for my death ... I said.... I have time. Open your eyes and See that a kingdom come is without crystal meth. The Love in me. It's Time.
