Sin Like Sand

Lying here with a straw in my hand.
Contemplating tying off with a band. 
Wish I could just stop this s**t.  
Withdrawals back, let this be my last hit. 

Got put on, took 3 days to make a band.
Racked up a couple grand, before I lost the woman who made me a man. 
Now I'm lost in a desert wasteland. 
Inhaling this sin like sand. 

Don't know how much more I can stand. 
I've lost everything. 
Everything, except my empire of sand.
