i would have said it's about a heroin addict.
ya know how before shooting up ya have to slap your veins to get the blood flowing.
'now cringe to slap the wrist'
also the whole 'i wonder if you would,
i would if you could' suggests to me it's about trying to quit and not being able to.
'please just a small taste of the offer unrefused' to me sounds like begging for one more
hit when they would never need to beg because a dealer is only to happy to provide.
'the nonexistent won't care when you fail to wake', the friends they lost
won't know or care when they overdose.
