When you extended a hand of friendship I received it gladly Taking it as a show of love
Coming closer, common sense said, "Tread cautiously", but, I ignored the sound advice instead, Embraced you wholeheartedly.
Having indulged in excess of you You promised to give: Strength but, gave me weakness Agility but, gave me laziness Wisdom but, gave me foolishness Smartness but, gave me dullness Alertness but, gave me sleep overdose
Now helpless and weak You've taken my joy away, Replaced it with sorrow Taken my brain away, Replaced it with forgetfulness
I need a true love, Love that cares Love that offers profit, Not debilitating losses
I need to disentangle from this fake love To be sound in mind again and, Reclaim my memory because, I'm now dead to sound reasoning
Emptying the content of the bottle and, Filling it inside me uncontrollably Translates to filling myself with emptiness Making me to need an antidote To bring me back to normal life and, Put my brain in order and, Restore my strength and dignity.
