Sweet Release

You want a high...

A set off, like nicotine

A pain relief, found in pills

A release in blood

And a drowning of yourself in alcohol...

You want that high...

A high of intimacy with someone else

You want a high...

because you're too afraid to die...

It's a sweet release that takes away all the pain

You forget all the hurt

You give it all

for a moment of euphoria

a moment of release.

That sweet release that makes you forget who you are

that release found in fidelity

in alcohol

in nicotine

even in your own blood...

A release of pain

A sense of letting go

All the pain, all the hurt

Gone

For at least a moment..

It's the sweet release of all you wish to forget

every argument

every heartache

every defeat...

A drowning in your own high

Just to forget,

Just to be happy for but a moment,

It all just disappears in your own

Sweet Release of Intoxication.
