Debby Jaries's "Chemicals"
© 2004 Debby Jaries
When did you take over?
Don’t remember surrendering myself to you.
I took you in to help me
This is what you do?

At one time you were my friend
When did you turn on me?
Now I can’t get rid of you
Why won’t you let me be?

Like a contract to the Devil
All of me do you now own.
Ironic you keep giving less
Yet my need for you has grown.

At times I’ve tried to escape your grip
Tried hard to leave you far behind.
But had no choice but to return
As if you control my mind.

Must be what Hell is all about
No better explanation can I give
For you I cannot live without
With you I cannot live!
