The first part=an addict does not care for material things,, easy come easy go-just looking for the next thrill-headed to Vegas-left the car-never looked back still up to going to Vegas-still up to thrills-on a Greyhound bus-as an addict you feel like a loser, but in a "special club" of losers and generally, you deflect that feeling of being a loser onto others, so you dont have to deal w/ feeling like that loser- never let them break your heart, never let them break me--having to be honest-dealing w/ issues-addiction, abuse as a child-is like being broken- living in Phoenix, getting high for 7 months -time for selling acid-life getting smaller-sounds like things are starting to get out of control-and either their world is becoming isolated or they are making connections that there is something better than getting high having had a bad childhood, he never found peace in his heart, that is why is not easy to learn to smile-there are times you want to leave all responsibility behind-but there is "no perfect place" -problems will follow
