Not Your Friend

These demons I struggle to fight
They win everytime I light the pipe

I can't seem to get a grip on life
I know if I don't stop soon I am going to die
Honestly, I'm already dead on the inside.

The drugs and the anger are controlling my life
I wish I had never laid hands on this thing called Ice

It feels awesome going in
But then it just fuels the anger 
I got stored within

If I have any advice for you 
I would warn you that this drug is not your friend
Better run while you can!
