Junkie

When you opened your spaced out eyes

You almost knew the world in front of you

The rush to the head, the cold running sweat

Your tongue numb, god gave you a turn

And you won't change it for a damn thing

All your life you've waited for the time

The devil would buy a soul like yours

And you'd sell it for a couple of words

For all that it is worth and for what's not

As long as you could take your long shot

The junkie started a joke

The addiction is it's own reward

Once you're never fully satisfied

Craving what you're owed

So thirsty for what others afford

You're high on your scarce supply

Drinking other people's kool aid

Cause it's paid and sold

The junkie started a joke

Every single time feels like the first

When the day outside burned too bright

A borrowed state of bliss, flying to abyss

Screaming into the void how you rejoice

To be the one dreaming in both worlds

Please tell me are you ready to confess

Or would you rather bleed your truths out

From down your nose, staining your clothes

Trapped in twisted waves, no wish to escape

You just wouldn't know who you are

You woke up in a world

You didn't dreamed of

Rounded by limelights

And nooses and knots

Wishing for sweet silence

To flood your deaf ears

Your prayers and dreams

could mean anything
