SUGAR WELL

Caught up in my own thoughts
Look to the internet to get out of this loneliness
Why do I let my mind turn to it

Sugar well
Some were between heaven and hell
She got the sweets she tries to sell

My mind tries to play the master
In the vice, I am captured
Causing my own pain with the click of every page

Sugar well
Am I caught in a spell
No matter how high it always hurts when I fell

Why confess my sins just to prove how blessed I am
Down in the depths without a friend
Under my own power, I pull myself up from the depths

Sugar well
If love is fraudulent how do I tell
In these feelings, I do not want to dwell
