Second Chance Charade - Toxic Lifeline

Late nights, demons got me on a leash
Every pill I pop is just temporary peace
But when the sun comes up, I'm back in the dark
Heart heavy like a stone And I'm falling apart
Can't feel the love all I know is the pain
Blunt to the face just to numb out the rain
But the clouds don't clear, they just hover & stay
Trapped in a cycle, I can't find my way
I keep telling myself I'll be okay
But the mirror shows a ghost that's starting to fade
Faking a smile, but it's clear as day
I'm drowning in the words that I never say
I'm popping Xan's just to feel alive
But they poison me, I'm barely able to survive
Percs in my veins, keeping me numb
But I'm breaking down, can't run from what I've become
Weed in my lungs, trying to silence the cries
But the voices still echo in these bloodshot eyes
Chasing highs, but I'm losing my soul
This toxic lifeline's taking its toll
Can't keep living like this, I'm losing control
Every pill I swallow's just digging a hole
But I can't let go, it's the only escape
From the shadows that haunt me and seal my fate
But the pain won't fade, it just lingers inside
No matter how much I try to hide
In this maze of addiction, I'm trapped in the lies
And I'm scared that I'm running out of time
I'm popping Xan's just to feel alive
But they poison me, I'm barely able to survive
Percs in my veins, keeping me numb
But I'm breaking down, can't run from what I've become
Weed in my lungs, trying to silence the cries
But the voices still echo in these bloodshot eyes
Chasing highs, but I'm losing my soul
This toxic lifeline's taking its toll
So I'm trapped in this hell, but I'm scared to let go
I'm addicted to the pain that I've come to know
Popping Xan's just to feel like I'm alive
But deep down, I know it's eating me inside
This toxic lifeline's taking me down
But I'm too far gone to turn it around
