Written for Spintunes 17, Round 1. Challenge - "Introduce Yourself."

lyrics

You know, I never hit rock bottom
But I wish I had
I never lacked for health or food or shelter
I should be glad

What would remain of me if all those little luxuries were gone
My name is Jon and I’m an addict (Hi, Jon)

After every satisfaction
It’s like, “What’s next?”
I’ve eaten junk, blacked out drunk
Sabotaged close friendships with sex

The night before a deadline I’ll play games on my computer until dawn
My name is Jon and I’m a liar (Hi, Jon)

I never even touched the hard stuff
Can’t even picture what it’d do to me
No pleasure ever adds up to enough
To make it through to me

Suppose she wakes tomorrow knowing
I don’t deserve her grace?
What vices will I turn to when she can’t even
Look me in the face?

I won’t argue with the splinters of guitars across the lawn
When justice catches up to me for my unconscionable con
Will I look back and have to wonder, God, what was I even on?
My name is Jon and I’m an addict (Hi, Jon)
