Your antidote for sickness   Is the source of my cure   In a different form of course   With more pleasure   I am sure      They help me deal with the pain   To enhance the pleasure of this life I lead   An addiction or a crutch they are not   And them I do not need      [Chorus:]   But I desire them, I confess   In a strange sort of way   With no remorse, I may add      But worry not you need not pay   I'll influence your decision not   Merely show you both sides   Of the invisible line   Where pain and pleasure collide      You need not tell me of their worthlessness   They've not hurt me I believe   More harmful to some than others   So if you are some reprieve      And though it, it sounds so easy   Distinguish between the two to   You may not, may not know till it's too late   The choice is, the choice is up to you      [Chorus:]   You see I have painfully learned   To infringe my beliefs on no one   I have seen first hand   The damage they have done   I've witnessed for myself   The hands which they have dealt   The blankness in ones eyes   As their brains begin to melt   And as they plead for your assistance   In their moments of confusion   You stand helpless but say   This is only an illusion      The choice is, the choice is up to you   The choice is, the choice is up to you   The choice is, the choice is up to you   The choice which you may lose
