• When I turn the music on
    The world around me turns off
    It takes me to another place
    A world without pain or regret

    It soothes my damaged soul
    And calms my chaotic mind
    It heals my broken heart
    And helps me put down the knife

    Music is my addiction
    I can’t be deprived of it
    I would rather die
    Than to go a day without it

    I turn the music way up loud
    And put my headphones on
    The music flows through my body
    My body welcomes it

    My foot taps to the rhythm
    My heart pounds to the beat
    I fight the urge to sing along
    And I forget how to breathe

    As the music comes to an end
    I feel like a brand new person
    I forget all the terrible things
    And I know I have been cured
