Who is ill ambition that cigarette flicking victim

Inflicting pain on his system with toxins and non prescription

Medicine, can’t stop I’m sickening I’m sickly and contradicting

Disgusted and guilt stricken with this life of addiction

Hand that feeds has been bitten, now it’s got on a mitten

Fitting so snug in position give it a tug til it’s ripping

Suffering slow decomposition of my will and existence

Yet and still I’m persistent I need to stop it this instant

But I’m suffice with these vices my life is in crisis

Christ is trying to give me a second chance, with the devil I dance

He’s holding my hand trying to coax me back to the dark side

Revisit my past and the meaning of hard times

I keep trying my best but then life throws me a test

The disease is so cunning how quickly do I forget

Waking up in the morning full of remorse and regret

But this ain’t a cassette can’t press rewind or reset

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend (Don’t wanna be a fiend)

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend if you know what I mean

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend (Don’t wanna be a fiend)

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend if you know what I mean

Mental anguish and pain, fear of going insane

Neurotransmitters misfire inside of my brain

I try to abstain, do I dare to just say no

Or do I just do it, don’t know which slogan to uphold

A struggle with no rebuttal a battle within

Throw caution to the wind back off that wagon again

I’m playing with fire I perspire gonna get burned

An addict’s like a pyromaniac when will I learn

No matter how much I’ve lost, no matter how much I’ve gained

I always slip up no matter how far I’ve came

So God please give me the strength to refrain my impulses

Cravings and urges, I’m obsessive compulsive

I’m determined, I’m worthless, try not to talk to the serpent

That comes from under the surface with one intention and purpose

That’s trying to make me his servant, but I’m aware I’m observant

I’m impaired, I’m not perfect, this problem here trying to murk it

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend (Don’t wanna be a fiend)

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend if you know what I mean

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend (Don’t wanna be a fiend)

I don’t wanna be an addict (Don’t wanna be an addict)

I don’t wanna be a fiend if you know what I mean
