The Drugs Don't Work Anymore


at first they start as your cure,

but soon enough they become the affliction

The Drugs Don't Work Anymore

you've lost your love

and you feel like half a being without them

The Drugs Don't Work Anymore

the escape you once sought after

has numbed and faded into your reality

The Drugs Don't Work Anymore
