I live my colorful life,
In the shadow of the streets.
Every moment is a trip,
I laugh while I speak.
I once felt alive,
And knew who I was.
But that has all faded,
Now that I'm buzzed.
Everyone loves my smile,
But its just the ecstasy.
A fire of passion in my eyes,
Life is just drugs to me.
One by one my friends die,
Overdoses, meth, crack, heroin.
But I still survive,
Living the life some call sin.
I walk alone in the crowd
The midnight sky so bright,
I dance down the alleys
I'm so in love with life.
I pop another pill,
And do another line,
I smoke another puddle,
Just so I feel so fine
I'm tiny, so malnourished,
I haven't slept for days.
It's cold out but I'm warm
Everything seems okay.
Was this my destiny?
My life is so perfect.
But my smile is ecstasy,
It's only the drug affect..
