Once Me, Now You
Ever done ecstasy?
Ever done weed?
Ever fallen off your high mighty tree,
fallen so low you cant get up.
WHy are you doing this to me.
Cant you see.
It's truly forcing me to decide,
and its killing me.
Ive never felt such a prick of pain,
never felt such loss in one vein.
AN empty kind of high,
an adrenaline rush.
STOP.
Now the tables have turned,
your shooting up drugs.
cutting your losses.
Baking your brain.
And the fire i felt so hot, so deep.
Is now whimpering at my feet.
I beg and plead,
I almost sighed in defeat,
when you told me theres nothing to fear.
Theres nothing i could do for you,
But now, now i see the kinda meds you once helped me to defeat.
The mosnter is growling,
his claws at your throat,
his voice in your ear,
his thoughts in your mind.
His eyes glint in the steel of your knife,
His blood, in the syringe that poisons your life.
