We see one thing and our thoughts turn,

Plans schedules and to-dos are lost,

We pay for that thing and our life's the cost,


That thing draws you closer,

Again and again,

A weight, a chain, an ankle, a leg,


Why do I want it?

Why do I need it?

Why when I'm away from it I feel like shit?


It just won't let me leave,

It just won't let me go,

Just leave my mind and leave me alone,


I want to stay focused and enjoy my life,

You are stopping my life from beginning,

Why can't anyone just feel what I'm feeling,


You just can't understand what I go through,

Each day, each month, each year, my life,

Everyday is a point of strife,


It won't go away and what can I do,

It pressures me day in day out,

Just set me free and let me get out,
