Caught In The Tide

Lost in the maze of my mind

Can't seem to leave it behind

Craving the high I can't find

Caught in the tide I'm confined

Fiction becomes my next truth

Dreams of a poisoned sweet youth

In shadows I search for proof

That these waves aren't my own noose

Can't escape this strange addiction

Bound by life's own cruel restriction

Haunted by my worst affliction

Chasing ghosts in every fiction

Moments of joy turn to grey

Nights blend to fog all the way

Whispers that lead me astray

Endless replay of decay

Faces I see in the glass

Haunt me like echoes of past

Love that was never to last

Now it's just shadows I cast

Can't escape this strange addiction

Bound by life's own cruel restriction

Haunted by my worst affliction

Chasing ghosts in every fiction
