A warning and confession from a polydrug addict.
Insufflate the powder lines
Barbiturates, a cowards crime
Amphetamines and Ketamine
All copped in slices dubs and dimes

Hallucinate, speed up, slow down
Pick one, enrich your boring town
It makes no difference in the end
In every well, a way to drown

We chase new highs and reach new pits
With manic screams, depressive fits
Self-medicated minds are we
Synapses fried, brain on the fritz

Bruised and perforated veins
It’s Self-induced, escape the pains
Perpetuate addiction send
Our aspirations’ down the drain

We’re told the ends is ours to take
Sobriety, addiction’s wake
They’re wrong, for we surrender choice
Upon the day we first partake
