I need to ease the pain,
If possible erase the pain,
Better than taking a razor blade,
To my arm again, I’m stopping
That from happening.

I know exactly where to go
And where I want to go,
That euphoric land of numb,
And I can get there with just
That sweet 20 in my hand.
Looking better to me than
Golden sand.

My clothes are torn, I’m kneeling,
I want to feel that warm feeling,
I put the needle in my vein,
But it doesn’t draw any blood,
My heart begins to thud,

I try all round my body, trying to
Find that an open vein,
I find one, the one on my neck,
Looking at myself in the mirror
I think what a monster I am,

I sit down then open a can
Pour it into my cup, get some
Ice cubes, chuck a few in,
Then sit back and think about
My life, what the hell am I doing?
