Anyone know what he means when he says, "Then feel your weight in arms I'd never use It's the god that heroin prays to"?

@AMusicalSoul

It's part of a whole phrase

"But I don't know what else that I would give Than try to kiss the skin that crawls from you Then feel your weight in arms I'd never use It's the god that heroin prays to"

He doesn't know what he'd give to kiss her skin and then hug her (feel her weight) in the arms that he never uses. It's basically him saying he's lonely and he'd give anything to have intimacy, and that intimacy is so great and so immense that the feeling of heroin would pray to it....

@AMusicalSoul i think his Girlfriend is a herion addict and when you are high you nodd out and hes probby holding her in his arms and feeling her nod out and all her weight being felt in his arms. arms he's never use to shoot up into. her ritual in getting it cooking it doing it is like a Christian or Catholics Sunday rituals of fasting or church. but her "ritual" is to the god of heroin that she "prays" too.
