Drug Filled Passion


 

 

The dependency comes with a tendency for me to come back to you,

The first time was free and the feeling was great too.

What used to be cheap innocent recreation, 

Is now a full blown habit in the making. 

The feeling I get from when you com into me,

 Makes the world so tall, but when I get low, 

my tolerance higher my addiction makes me feel so small.

I feel sick like my hearts about to go, I need my next fix

My liver dying slow. 

My mind is consumed by the substance, and the monster I am turning into.

You mention my name to my family and they answer with an embarrassing "Who?"

 I am marked guilty by association from my dirty passion,

 I traded in my clean cut look, for that junkie dirt fashion.

 I am no longer myself the drugs have a control on me

When my funds are low, they say, "go and rob please!"

It doesn't matter who it is, or whatever I get into.

And if you try to resist, you get cut by the Ginsu.

The sharpest type of knife, I wake up each morning 

Praying to die since I signed away my life.

The beginning weekend plan is now a body filling disease

Which each pill consumed makes my soul fly high with my body on my knees.

The pain is too much to handle, I beg God please

Turn back the hands of time, to a place where there were no drugs

In these hands of mine.

If I listened I back in a time, I would have been better bottom line.

But I chose to rebel because I thought I was cool, back in the day.

But they took my whole, so I can never be okay...
