Injection

so as superficial as this sounds, i think it's actually about drugs. i could relate almost all of it to life experiences. just hear me out.

Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake? And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers There's a light turned off inside your heart, can you remember what it's like to care?

in my experience, i found that the harder the drugs, the less responsive the abuser is to others feelings. most people don't fall asleep while they're on a high, and when you're a compulsive addict, you spend A LOT of time getting your kick

Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe So give me the drug, keep me alive Give me what's left of my life Don't let me go

when you need a fix, you get jittery. anxious. some users would rather die than quit.

Pull this plug Let me breathe On my own I'm finally free Don't let me go

contemplating getting help? going to rehab maybe? trying to decide ultimately whether drugs or friends and family are more important?

The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way If you never meant to leave, then you only had to stay But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grey

most kids have good role models growing up. they know the difference between what's right and wrong, but they still end up doing drugs. depending on your past, and how painful it is, some people turn to drugs to deal with it fully aware of the potentially fatal dangers of it all.

Yet I fall, through these clouds, reaching, screaming Give me the drug, keep me alive Give me what's left of my life Don't let me go

Pull this plug Let me breathe On my own I'm finally free Don't let me go

This grip loosens but it never breaks We carry nothing but a name you will forsake Your words are always there to break my fall In them I find the comfort to see through it all

relapsing. you think you've made it through rehab, but you snap. need a fix, badly. and no matter how many people you've lost because of your addiction, there's always that one friend that stuck by you the whole time, because they know that you have so much potential, and want to help you.

Guide me through uncharted waters Before we lose our way again Will you be my compass Until forever, until forever ends?

...self explanatory?

Knees are weak, hands are shaking I can't breathe so give me the drug, keep me alive Give me what's left of my life Don't let me go

Pull this plug Let me breathe On my own I'm finally free Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go
