Addiction

Broken hopes have roped them in
Cravings spoken by their sins
Savings spent to dust again
Actions fueled by greed

Soaking tongues salvate and savor
Rocket highs and potent flavors
Trading pockets, friends and favors
Taste buds start to bleed

Neighbors who trusted each other
Backstab and sell out their brother
Just to taste that devil butter
A sea full of misdeeds

Shaking in anticipation
Can't escape the situation
Hooked in by their desperation
Your system wants to feed

Addiction cracks the sanest mind
Polluting thoughts from the inside
Corrupted souls commit the crime
You can't deny the need
