Princess and the Plea

 I just can't go on living this way
Fucked up,shot off, out all night,up all day
Hiding from reality, running from my pain
I'm perilously close to going insane.

 Bound by a habit,slave to the high
When all I really need is to curl up and cry
I hate myself and what I've become
Trapped in myself ,indifferent and numb.

 I was once defined by my genius,my smarts
My talent and music, a generous heart
Now I'm known as a junkie , self abuser
Dismissed ,disregarded, a tweaked out loser

 Won't you please help me, take the card and straw
Flush the stuff in the baggie I hide in my bra
Can you help them to remember the old me?
The promising young woman that I used to be?

 What once was such fun, now is a chore
I want to go back to how I was before
I don't need to escape ,your intentions are good
If I could quit the dope, behave as I should

 It's now or never , get out or die
So I will watch you sleep, as I cry
With your love I can find myself again
And a better life together soon can begin.
