I fell from the high life,
And entered the poor.
And now I can't leave,
I keep wanting more.
One by one my friends are dieing,
Overdoses, meth, crack,heroin.
But it doesn't affect me,
Because it doesn't sink in.
I live for the drugs
My life's in the slums,
And sleep in the streets,
It seems just so fun.
I pop a few more pills,
And snort the powder lines,
I smoke the burning puddles,
Just so I feel so fine.
I'm malnourished from not eating,
I haven't slept for days,
My clothes have started sticking,
But everything seems okay.
My eyes have got infected,
I know I need to sleep,
But just one more fix,
One more day on the street.
I know I'm looking bad,
Cause friends see me and they cry,
I just don't want to listen,
They think I'm gonna die.
I'm stronger then the drugs,
I keep on telling them,
But still I don't stop,
My life's one big binge.

true story? i can relate but to some degree, ive tried heroin once and decided i needed to get a fucking grip so i never did, and since marijuana never did anything i never got on to it, i do however find a facination with hallucinates like acid/shrooms/lsd and my friends call me crazy or cracked and so i know that feeling, but in my eyes what im doing theres nothing wrong to it... then again i only do it now on rare occasions, but i dunno now im just rambling....

Junkie's life is a huge chaos in the middle of organized world. You start to feel out of place in a while
