My addiction

To keep from drowning I search for hope

School has been taking away my sleep

I find fulfillment in Diet Coke

With so much to do I’ve no idea what I’ve wrote

I’m tired, I’m sickly, I can hear my bones creak

To keep from drowning I search for hope

The fizzing soothes my throat

The caffeine keeps me from plummeting to the deep

i find fulfillment in Diet Coke

My mind is wandering, my mind is broke

My mind is swimming amongst the reefs

To keep from drowning I search for hope

I will not cry out, nor will I mope

I drink a pack to be what I can be

I find fulfillment in Diet Coke

My fingertips shake like a homeless bloke

I’ve been without rest for weeks it seems

To keep from drowning I searched for hope

I found fulfillment in Diet Coke
