Cravings



Cravings
By Arman Hoque


You’ve got a taste of the good stuff now,
You’ll never want to go back to normal.
You'll want as much as circumstances allow.
Sometimes you’ll push the boundaries between comfort and formal.

You’ll try a little bit more for a little more wow!
It gets a little bit better with a little more pow!
There’s only one place your mind wants to go;
To extend the ache of this playing show.
To keep the mind always in the know.
To keep the craving constantly aglow.
A place where there’s room for a little bit more;
The thrill of extreme is a silent roar;
Wait till you discover what fate has in store.
You’ll have cravings that reach to your core.
