Relapse

It was going so well
But one day it just fell
A roaring tsunami came crashing down
It's pulling me under, making me drown

I can't escape the urge to do it
Won't be able to get through it
Haunts my daydreams and my nightmares
And there's no way I can fight there

Sometimes it gets so overwhelming
So I break down and let it win
Feeling the sting of my open skin
Takes me away from the pain I'm in

But every day clean is a victory
Today's a new day, so I'll be
Strong and I'll put up a stand
And I might just have my first win on my hands.
