Trapped

Once wired, now tired Of the rummaging through The barrage of promised threats That have yet to come true A pounding drum, inside my skull Still refuses to relent Overdose of legal remedies Are sure to kill me, yet I lie awake, most every night Consumed by legal speed But I'll never cope, without the hope The very light that lets me see Not more tough, no dose enough The benzos soothe my shakes Every month, my share goes up I block out the toll it takes To assume I don't care, would not be fair I loathe who I've become But the lack of tricks, to feed my fix Keep me pleading for a crumb
