Drugs

It's been six years since I've known you 
And six months since I've left 
 
You took advantage of me 
But it's me who handed you the key

Day after day I would come to you to vent 
Instead of ink to this paper
I'd put weed in this wrapper 

I'd light it up and smoke it 
And then I'd feel much better 

It's a place like no other God damn it feels so good 
But when the high goes away I'd feel like I'm no good 

The relief was only temporary 
So I had to double my dose 
That's when I realised I started going broke 

I started of with alcohol but then I moved weed 
And when that wouldn't hit the spot I started popping pills 

The high was just extraordinary 
There are no words to explain 
I wanted more I needed more to elevate the grade 

I stuck a needle in my arm 
And then I felt no pain 
My life was like a roller coaster 
Which I could not contain 

It's been six years since I've known you 
And Six months since I've left 
I wonder how many people today still mourn my death
