The will to stop is everything to me,
yet it means nothing, all the same.
Now the only question to ask myself
is simply, "Who's to blame?"
Is this a sick affliction? A new kind of
addiction? Or is this simply a nervous tick,
to which I've no restriction?
Some days it seems as though my hands
are moving on their own --
as though they have a consciousness
of which they've never shown...
a consciousness that proves itself
much stronger than my own.
Since this began, I've done all that I can to stop it...
I've done all that I've thought to do. And though
a cure seems long overdue, this odd addiction,
I still pursue...and each day, it begins anew.
I wake with a promise, go to
bed with a promise...I've tried and I've cried
and I've bled for a promise...
yet a promise to stop and to end all the slaughter is
a promise so weak that it's written in water.
I hold my wrists, tie up my hair...
I offer God my saddest prayer.
And it always seems to work until
my will begans to tear.
Then soon enough, restraint will fade
and give in to thin air.
I pull my hair out without even knowing it...
tearing it out as fast as I'm growing it.
This is my addiction,
and I'm always showing it.
