Darkest Ecstasy

I tremble and shiver
I sputter and stutter
I cringe and hunger
All alone in this dark, damp corner

I was warned to keep away
From this damned road to agony
But I was too arrogant
Too proud
Look where I am now

When it was right
Oh damn it was right
An ecstasy unlike any other
From which I would never want to recover

But my vessel has gone dry
And I see the world as it really is
More clearly if at all possible

A broken syringe to the side
Blood dripping down my arm
My mansion in the background
Ruined

I know what it is doing to me
I know of the pain that follows

But the devil keeps me on the floor
Whispering at me to keep having more
That this is an addiction worth dying for
