You found me when I was down and out
Slowly seducing me until I couldn't do without
You seemed to offer something better
Your touch as soft as a downy feather

I loved to feel the rush through my veins
Even as I ignored the warnings from my brain
But as each day passed, to get my kicks
You always demanded a bigger fix

We always used to laugh and giggle
While I ignored that sometimes you could be fickle
Deeper and deeper into your web I was drawn
Despite the monsters you seemed to spawn

This never ending daily habit
That drew me in like a magnet
More and more of an endless addiction
That can't be found on any doctors prescription

I told myself there was nothing wrong
Yet deep down I knew I had to be gone
No more of this affliction
This self obsessed addiction

I paid the price and gave you my all
My heart, my mind, even my soul
The problem was, it wasn't enough
as you bound me tight like a handcuff

I knew I had to get away
The need to keep your tentacles at bay
Out there is a whole new world
Just waiting to be unfurled
 
Now I've put up a fight
Managed to get myself right
Finally I've broken free
No longer the need to be a devotee

So this is my final swan song
A tribute to read when I'm gone
No more do I need this rush
I have kicked the habit of this drug called... Lush
