Maybe morphine
Is the thing I need
To **** the pain away
While it's killing me
Maybe *******
Maybe ketamine
Maybe roxycontin
A couple of thirties

Maybe heroine
Is not woman to save me
But a horse
I can ride to my own end

While I was busy chasing dragons
Wanting to reach the first high
Banging and shooting and doping and bruising
I forgot to see
I'm alive
I was born with all I need
And that dragon should be chasing me

Maybe it's love
Love for myself
And love for others
The godly love of sisters and brothers
Maybe it's just love
A smiling face
A funny joke
The realization that what it is,is what I make it be

Maybe it's just holding on to the better part of me
Been there, made it through, it's a war, keep the fight
