Addict.Phonie.Loser
The holes in my skin are my memories
My memories of my bad past
My memories of my addiction
The drugs were my foundation
My dealer was my best friend
The needle was my mentor
I'm trapped here
Here in this hell hole
Full of people like me
Addicts
Phonies
Losers
They watch as I shrivel and die
Feeling the holes in my arm
The purple tint around the fresh ones
People try to comfort me
Rubbing my back
Saying it will be okay
It's not okay
I'm an addict
And that's all I'll ever be
