Chemical Co-Dependencies
Like Lithium,
You are--
My drug.
Except I'm not prescribed.
No mood-stabilizer
Or manager of depression
You watch my manic episodes
Like cocaine
I can't stop snorting
(in disbelief)
When I see you.
Twenty-dollar bills
And credit cards
Are tools for your trade
Like weed,
You go by many names.
Bitch and liar,
To name two.
If you were illegal
I'd go to California
And stick my head in a microwave
Cause your medicine is worth the radiation.
Like nicotine
I can't seem to stop
Smoking your bullshit
Getting stuck in tar.
Like tobacco
You'll always be popular (and profitable)
And you'll keep chewing me
Just to spit me out
I wish you were more like cigarettes.
And you'd come with a warning label
Like crystal meth
You're crystal clear,
But complicated.
Dangerous.
Easy to make.
Too easy to break.
Got fuckin' songs written about you.
If I do one thing wrong
You could blow up
In my face
and kill me
And even though it's not worth my life
I'll always risk it
To mix hormones and chemicals.
Business and pleasure.
Like alcohol
You make me lose my inhibitions
And make a fool out of me.
You'd probably be hard liquor
One shot and I'm stumbling off a barstool.
Smiling.
Like ecstasy, one kiss
Could be as good as signing away
My life.
(and of course the fact that being with you--it's ecstasy.)
Like acid,
You've got me trippin' balls
All fucked up
And having flashbacks.
Got me seeing crazy things.
Like you and I together.
Like shrooms,
You're psychedelic.
Got me not knowing who am.
Got me searching under rugs
For peace and happiness.
Like heroine,
You got me crazy.
Selling my soul for an ounce of inner peace
And a dirty needle.
Shooting your high
Right into my bloodstream.
Skipping all formality.
Like opium,
You're in my everything
Got me high off of bagels
With poppy-seeds
Like crack you've got me on corners
Nervous, jumpy, on the look-out.
Looking out for Lindsay Lohan
And the devil.
Like oxycotin
You've got me spending all my money
Numb to pain
Numb to life.
These narcotics got me swingin' moods
Wishin' I was swinger.
Like amphetamines,
You got my dopamine levels skyrocketing
You make me high
You got me twisted
But more than anything
I think it's love
That's got me "addicted."
