Woe to me, battered man
Raise the monolith
Deitize my spirit rise
Like days the world forgets - down the
Drain - laid to lame
A fool-ass hearty bliss
Borderline suicide,
Celebrate before my death
Your promised land divide,
That's why the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. I give up.
I'm underneath my life.
Dog in heat, beware the street
It's there you'll meet your end
Poverty is not for me,
But I'll take her back again
To prove a point,
To laugh it off, to cross you off my path,
Grip the night, pull the cord,
A much inspired wrath.
Your promised land divide,
That's where the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. I give up.
I'm underneath my life.
Carry me back from the war
And from the lord.
Raise the monolith
Deitize my spirit rise
Like days the world forgets - down the
Drain - laid to lame
A fool-ass hearty bliss
Borderline suicide,
Celebrate before my death
Your promised land divide,
That's why the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. I give up.
I'm underneath my life.
Dog in heat, beware the street
It's there you'll meet your end
Poverty is not for me,
But I'll take her back again
To prove a point,
To laugh it off, to cross you off my path,
Grip the night, pull the cord,
A much inspired wrath.
Your promised land divide,
That's where the world lies.
I give up.
That's enough. I give up.
I'm underneath my life.
Carry me back from the war
And from the lord.

To hell with I miss you
I said I 'd do it alone
Ripping apart from you
A broken vision to call my own
He's obviously saying that his temptation or curiosity take him away from his loved ones and he's convinced that his decision (vision) is the true one.
I bury my head with frustration
And I look at others and wonder why
I'm feeding my cancer
A broken vision that stole my sight
The more he feeds his curiosity the more curious he gets or tempted. After some time feeding this "cancer" he doesn't even see the right decisions ( broken vision that stole my sight)
This may not be Phi's point of view, but this is just my opinion and I can assure you this isn't about heroin.
