Pounding through my veins
Giving me that High
I've been needing more of
For a while

The never-ending High
Gets louder every time
I give myself some more.
I need some more

I've grown used to
The ringing in my ears
The pounding in my chest
Keeping time with my heart

It's been like this for a while
Getting better every time
I drown myself in
Music.

I, like most teenagers, live off of music! :) Gotta love it!
