Addicted
Since day one
It’s had me in its grips
In living my life
I’ve no options to quit
It’s in my genes
To give all I can give
I can’t imagine
Any other way to live
They say
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
But that’s not enough
Not that I’m any tougher
Than anyone else
My driving gears won’t give up
Till I hear the Heaven’s bells
And I know my days are numbered
Can’t imagine how I end
How my death will effect
All my family and friends
I don’t know what awaits me
In the afterlife
Someday I’ll find out
But I’m addicted to this life
