Serpent

I want to get away
All the way
Far away from my memories
The fucked up future
My distorted past
Getting lost in my present state

I sense the serpent,
slither through my skin
I feel the venom moving to my brain
Eyes are hazy, my mind kind of dizzy
Heartbeat slowing as I my world comes crashing down


My friends scare me, because they’re screaming
Shaking me, telling me to get back up
I can’t hear the voices
Only high pitched noises
Paralyzed when the ambulance arrives

I sense the serpent,
slither through my skin
I feel the venom moving to my brain
Eyes are hazy, my mind kind of dizzy
Heartbeat slowing as I my world comes crashing down


I wake up puking
My girlfriend crying
Pleading for me to get some fucking help
All I could do is sit, nod and agree,
but really I have no idea what the fuck is going on

I sense the serpent,
slither through my skin
I feel the venom moving to my brain
Eyes are hazy, my mind kind of dizzy
Heartbeat slowing as I my world comes crashing down


Every day without is hurt
Physical hurt
Itching skin and massive headaches
With my mood swings being so destructive
I just want to go back
To how I was
I just want to go back
Before the drugs
