Underland

Falling down the rabbits hole      
I awake in underland      
instead of the queen of hearts      
     
The king of spades reigns here      
I find no cheshire cat
disolving me into mist erasing my emptiness      
just discarded needles and empty beer bottles      
reminders of the time i've wasted getting high      
     
In underland everything is turned upside down, inside out      
instead of tuning in you tune out      
slam your bag, drink your beer      
shrinking yourself small enough      
to enter the door of oblivion      
     
Where the needle is master      
the great dragon you chase      
painting the roses black      
like the heroin I used to slam      
     
The mad hatter is you      
stuck at the tea party for life      
laughing your mad head off      
     
The black velvet king of spades      
has turned everything dark      
you seek to turn yourself back to normal size      
and awake from this nightmare      
     
Be right side up but being clean is a bitch      
a battle you have to fight everday      
in this nightmare the queen of hearts is dead      
     
The king of spades dominates your thoughts      
no matter how many times you chop his head off      
addiction is a fight you have to deal with for life.
