It's evil and it's daunting...

"I am sick with wanting and it's evil and it's daunting how I let everything I cherish lay to waste.
I am lost in greed, this time it's definitely me, I point fingers but there's no one there to blame.


I am sick of wanting and it's evil how it's got me, and every day is worse than the one before.
The more I have the more I think I'm almost where I need to be, if only I could get a little more.


Something has me acting like someone I don't wanna be.
Something has me acting like someone I know isn't me.
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed.


Temporary is my time, ain't nothing on this world that's mine except the will I found to carry on.
Free is not your right to choose, it's answering what's asked of you. 
To give the love you find until it's gone.

A need for something, now let me break it down again.

A need for something, but not more medicine.

Something has me acting like someone I don't wanna be.

Something has me acting like someone I know isn't me.

Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed."

Why is it that in wanting something so badly, so intensely, you become your own worst enemy?

The thing you desire most, you can't seem to have because, were you to attain it, you would love it too hard and squeeze it to your death.
