From The Eyes Of An Addict
I have been
Up for weeks
And I really
Do not care
I don’t want
To speak
I don’t want
To hear
So leave me alone
You don’t know
How I feel
Just one more bump
And all my pain
Will heal
Fuck the family
And to Hell
With having a job
I get by just fine
Slangin clear
To my mob
I always stay smart
And put on
Long sleeves
To hide all
My marks
From the fucking
Police
I’m doing just fine
Hell I’ve never
Been better
You cannot stay
Someday I’ll write
You a letter
Tell Mom I’m
Doing good
And living life
As I should
Oh I feel
Like shit
I fucking said
Go away!
Just need
One more bump
And I will
Heal and feel
Okay
