Time feels meaningless
It's Saturday morning
barely 8:24 and all I can think about is more
soul nectar
bass water
This feeling I'm after has led me to this disaster
and whats more is that I can't remember anymore
I look at myself and try to climb back into my own body
but it's too late
Everyone of those little mistakes adds another lock to the gate
I manage to slip a foot in, through the eye up to my ankle
that's as far as it will go in though
I've turned myself into an obelisk for this
slowly and surely the drugs they have turned me
Not completely but if we're talking and you do catch a glimpse of the real me
try to grab it
they've been so fleeting lately
fleeing
I'm the one that hurts me the most
and now i've become my own ghost
one body
ten people
it's communion without the steeple
While the poor boy we've taken over wonders why his nights grow colder
So innocent so sweet
until that night chance had us meet
You made him feel alive
showed him another side to the cruelties of life
Suddenly he didn't need to hide
liquid courage
overwhelming confidence
an amplified euphoria he feels it coursing deep inside
Then you left him with kiss on cheek
not to speak to him for many a week
laughing because you know when you next meet
you'll be there to sweep that naive sweet boy off of his feet
He has a life, school, a girlfriend
let's pick a different one this boy's is going to be no fun
No. we're committed, it's already begun.
Looking at this boy from above I can't remember fun.
I don't remember a time when I didn't have to hide and then spend the rest of the day concealing what I felt inside.
I don't remember a time when my purpose in life was not to get high
Now lets not demonize these recreational botanicals
I still get chills from the last time I 'medicated' with pharmaceuticals
with a little creativity lots of things can be use for shifting
But I think the real question is why is it the boy was drawn to this affliction.
drawn or driven?
it's irrelevant for now with this comfort he is smitten
He tries to push us out but we keep away the doubt
besides
he doesn't believe he can ever be clean
when we're with him the world has a certain sheen
It's like everything tries to hurt you when you have a go at getting clean
So it looks like it's you me and the boy
I'll bring the van around and unload the others,
we'll be here a while if I have my druthers
I tried to explain what the addiction said
but it's a fucking symphony inside my head
barely 8:24 and all I can think about is more
