lyrics

(Chorus)
I blamed it on the mask for how well it fit your face,
the mask's the only thing i've learn to hate,
now its a shame we'd have to ask which one I would embrace,
arms out i'd hope for something great,
The day came when I saw passed and it was good to see your face,
your disease hid your beauty behind the buzz,
and I say this all because, I know what it is what it was,
I no longer blame the drugs, I've just accepted addictions stronger then love.

(Verse 1)
mouth still sour, how I cowered to her lack of will power,
now im bowing over both knees sobbing how her,
drunken flower reared the fruits of a final hour,
while temptation tried to take a bite, take a bite out her,
never had a choice in your health,
self inflicted damage till your body tried to poison itself,
it's probably thinking suicides likely the only way out,
so see ya hommie im out,
if im not even worth this bottle that you drown me in now,
abandon the ship, abandon the kids, r
ock bottom's easy when your feet are bound to some bricks,
and only thing that helps you forget is pounding a fifth,
each fifth measured how far down you were until you found your abyss

(Chorus

(Verse 2)
stronger then your will to try, stronger then your will to live,
and then will let you die, masked your heart soul and mind,
so human like nobody thought there was another you inside,
saw the two in time felt you chose the side that ruined lives,
I found my blackest suit tie, when i drew my lines,
and saw it circled addiction and suicide, lines that separated you and I,
told myself if she loved me the she would chose my side,
and i believed that stupid lie,
mother knew one more would kill her, with the booze from the distiller,
but with in her lived the killer, hunting for murder weapon,
80 proof press lips to fill her, tied the noose around the liver,
killer vanished into thin air, left the hospital to step in,
yellow hues her skin color, there was juice left still fueling her,
killer will come back to get her, but ill be there for protecting,
un-human what's in her innards, who controlled all of her benders,
but i have unmasked the killer, and that killer is addiction,
