[Intro]
What do u want to make out of life
U can stay stuck in the life u been given
Or fight for one worth living 
[Verse]
U can change or keep everything the same
It’s up to u
Addiction is the monster promising to put the pain at bay
But u start pushing everyone u care about away
Then one day u look at ur live and ur all alone
Stuck in a trap house with a needle in ur arm or
Laying in jail on a bed made of stone
U got no one to call no one to help
Ur hurting but ur all by urself
U start to pray saying lord get me out of here
I’ll never again pick up that sack
I swear
I’m done I just want my life back
[Chorus]
Addictions the monster that says it’s ur friend
No more pain forget all that u’ve sinned
The gilt an shame
all them feelings will mend but
that monster is far from a friend
Addiction drags u down to the darkest depths deeper then u ever been
takes everything intell ur life has its end
Intell ur life comes to end that’s what u get from a monstrous friend a monstrous friend
[Verse]
I’ve been there done that many of times
I thought I could hide all of the signs
No one will know everything is fine but I’m telling u people are not blind
U say u can quit if u wanted to
U got this all under control but ur in a negative magnetic pull
By the time u see the truth ur already deep down in a hell hole with no where to go
U can change though
Put down ur pride pickup the courage to be vulnerable
Ask for help
U can’t do it all by urself
[Chorus]
Addictions the monster that says it’s ur friend
No more pain forget all that u’ve sinned
The gilt an shame
all them feelings will mend but
that monster is far from a friend
Addiction drags u down to the darkest depths deeper then u ever been
takes everything intell ur life has its end
Intell ur life comes to end that’s what u get from a monstrous friend a monstrous friend
[Bridge]
Life of addiction hidden from the pain don’t mean it’s going away
It’s right underneath waiting to spring
That’s the thing
All that u have done who u have hurt or who has hurt u is sitting there waiting for u
Can’t push it down and lock it away ull end up dealing with it one day
[verse]
It’s hard to deal with trauma an emotional pain
O
No one persons life is the same but in recovery u can navigate using new Neuro pathways
In addiction ur using ur lizard brain
A life of fight flight or freeze that monster has u down on ur knees
Time to stand up break free
u can be who u always wanted to be
In a life of recovery
[Chorus]
Addictions the monster that says it’s ur friend
No more pain forget all that u’ve sinned
The gilt an shame
all them feelings will mend but
that monster is far from a friend
Addiction drags u down to the darkest depths deeper then u ever been
takes everything intell ur life has its end
Intell ur life comes to end that’s what u get from a monstrous friend a monstrous friend
