Chains of Addiction

My chains are getting tighter
They are choking the life out of me
I can't seem to break them
No matter how hard I try
They get stronger with each struggle
I know that if I give up
My life will come to an end
But how can I live like this
A slave to something that kills
Tied to something that makes me sick
I can't go on like this anymore
But how do I get the power
To break its hold on me.
