Still A Junkie

     
     
"Well, to begin with, nobody, and I mean nobody, can talk a junkie out of using. You can talk to 'em for years but sooner or later they're gonna get ahold of something. Maybe it's not dope. Maybe it's booze, maybe it's glue, maybe it's gasoline. Maybe it's a gunshot to the head. But something. Something to relieve the pressures of their everyday life, like having to tie their shoes."

I'm a junkie
 
no pussy footing around the topic      
though I no longer stick a needle in my arm      
 
been leaving the lines of coke alone      
still my monster finds a way to be fed      
when I get bored with life      
realize how little I've changed      
since I stopped shooting heroin      
     
prescribed benzos are my friends      
pop um like candy      
caffeine for the amped up rush      
with a Xanax chaser to come back down nice and slow      
     
I fucking love the escape      
used to live in the land of nod      
then came hazy Methadone days      
traded that beast in for alcohol      
mixed it up with the partying and cocaine      
     
no my mindset hasn't changed      
still fucked up      
can't keep a junkie from their dope      
true enough the demon will find a way
