12 Steps
Just tonight I saw the call come in.
It's an inmate call, where to begin.
You said hi honey it's me .
first time in weeks I'd have to agree.
You said your sorry and your glad its ended.
I just pray your sentence is treatment or at least suspended.
Well this is the best of three ways this disease ends.
Jails institutions and death, on luck that depends.
We've all been praying , for you to be safe and sound.
Then you get arrested , and held underground.
I'm so worried all night its making me sic.
Arraignment day, Two charges dropped only one will...

Bottoms not a place
Pouted long enough..,
God must think I'm really tough.
.
Am I strong enough tonight .
Am I strong enough to fight.
If I stay clean it may,
just be allright.
Can I white knuckle it ,
Through another night.
I tell myself one more time...,
Love can stop the hands of time.
.
Life will never be how you want it.
Just gotta get up quit fucking crying about it.
Admit i got A problem.
And fucking do something about it.
I wished I'd just forget about it.
Your love, your touch ,
To live without it.
The pain...
God must think I'm really tough.

Feeding this disease
Wake up in the morning, am I done?
Pick up my gun , do I use it on myself or continue to run.
So I am off again, living these dreams
Or is this a nightmare.
feeding this disease is not as easy as it seams.
On my way to recover some cash.
if he don't have it I will put a cap in his ass.
One more day , so tired of this game.
The pain and the lies puts a strain on my brain.
Running alone cuz I can't be trusted.
Just praying today I don't get busted.
My guts in a knot ,now I'm hunting for a fix.
If they say you need one I'm...

The fight
So many Fears & to many tears.
Been chasing this dragon now 20+ years.
Fighting my will.
Always chasing a thrill.
To much already , the past I burnt it.
The steps now iv learned it .
Resentments , fears, so many
harms.
I sit and stare , these scars on my arms .
Endless pain and emotions so twisted.
I see it now , to many to list it.
Fear &. hate, oh there a calling.
Adrenaline now I feel like I'm falling.
Emotions so thick , now I am sic.
I knew that already, now I hear the click.
It's just me now no numbing the pain....

Invention of Shame
Shame you've been with us a long time it seems.
I also know your twin love oh how she gleams.
Before there was plyers , hammers or hoe's
Believers once ran naked they had no cloths.
Beautiful hands of love they held .
No scars, no knives no weapons from hell.
Your claws are thick calloused and cold.
Your nails are sharp - oh and when they grab hold.
She didn't know the beast she had unleashed .
He didn't want a bitch on a leash.
They ate that fruit and oh was it sweet.
They begged for forgiveness and knelt at his...

Triggers
Pain & sorrow of my soul.
Was this your goal .
This world is harsh and full of haters.
Why did you have to feed the gators .
They feed on hate , fear & shame.
I've grown tired of that game .
Let em starve on love & hope.
As long as we stay off the dope.
Yes they will starve. Starve To death.
Unless I feed them meth.
If I do they will grow.
To a size beyond control.
I may as well be a man on the row.
They hate & hate & hate some more.
Will love be enough to even the score.
