Dope House
Webs in the attic, rats in the cellar
I'm in the bathroom not feeling stellar.
I creep to the kitchen but I remain cautious
Because all the food is making me nauseous.
I then seek relief in the dining room
My belly rolls like a corpse in a tomb.
I run to the bedroom and try to relax
Sickened and kicking with panic attacks.
I'll try to hibernate inside my den
But cold shakes take their hold again.
I gain control and lose my breath
The family room, it smells of death.
I hit the hallway - getting longer
The cravings keep on getting stronger.
My nerves electric like a fence
This house of pain not making sense.
The courtyard calls me out to play
Reminds me of a younger day.
Once I was a ballroom dancer
Before I met you and your cancer.
I seek relief and find it soon
Then died inside the living room.
