All of my vices
I spent all my money on substance;
Some that enhance, some to forget
Some just for fun or coming undone
I've got one for every occasion
Little habits are the hardest to kick;
The big ones are harder to get
I'll take what my hands can find
We can give it a name,
But the poisons the same
I ingest it --
The rest is irrelevant
I'm counting up all of my vices
I have one for hope, one just to cope
One to relax and one to bounce back
A few in between and one to maintain,
Some that I've tried to buy myself time
To scrape up some change
for the next one in line
I haven't been high for ages
I tried to deny it myself
Up my intake, but it's still not the same
I get off, but I can't stay away
Two days is the most I can take
I rely in it --
It's basic survival these days
Now I'm down to scrounging for doses
But I'm broke;
In more ways then I care to note
I admit to digging the hole;
Im sorry for falling so fast--
By the time I let go it was too late to know
I was too far away to turn back
I have to be close to the bottom;
The problems are far past resolving
The damage is done and I don't stand a chance
When I'm standing alone
There's no sense in calling for help
Everyone's gone, like everything else
My resources have dwindled away;
I cost them all too much to stay
Some that enhance, some to forget
Some just for fun or coming undone
I've got one for every occasion
Little habits are the hardest to kick;
The big ones are harder to get
I'll take what my hands can find
We can give it a name,
But the poisons the same
I ingest it --
The rest is irrelevant
I'm counting up all of my vices
I have one for hope, one just to cope
One to relax and one to bounce back
A few in between and one to maintain,
Some that I've tried to buy myself time
To scrape up some change
for the next one in line
I haven't been high for ages
I tried to deny it myself
Up my intake, but it's still not the same
I get off, but I can't stay away
Two days is the most I can take
I rely in it --
It's basic survival these days
Now I'm down to scrounging for doses
But I'm broke;
In more ways then I care to note
I admit to digging the hole;
Im sorry for falling so fast--
By the time I let go it was too late to know
I was too far away to turn back

The problems are far past resolving

Everyone's gone, like everything else
