I Do Apologize

Privacy please as I take a needle to 
my vein
 I do apologize but I can feel no 
more pain
 Deny me not the comfort I seek
 With no remorse do I speak
 For the ship of honor hath already 
sailed
 As I lost my desire to care the 
moment hell was unveiled
 I turn only to numbing cold
 This charade they call life has 
grown forever old
 Just ten more CCs and you've heard 
the last from me
 That eternal light shall set my 
sorrows free
 Of two addicts I was born
 Upon a rose I am merely the thorn
 Upon tragedy I am the cause and 
abnormality
 Forgive me for just one more high
 I do apologize
 I must now say goodbye
I hang my head without hesitation 
as I approach the pearly gates
 Upon my judgement even the 
almighty procrastinates
 To my family I leave hurt and 
shame
 Yet another soldier lost to the game
 Privacy please as I take a needle to  
my vein
 I do apologize but I can feel no 
more pain
