Poppin' Happiness

Green ones. yellow ones, red ones, blue,

all of them slide straight down my throat,

my veins burst into cheer as the medicine takes over,

my scalp is all tingly and my limbs are going numb,

drugs make my life a little less dumb,

slurred speech and glossy eyes,

the weight of the world is gone once again,

now i can fly, now i am free,

now everyone isn't pressing down on me,

drugs are my escape,

my runaway from pain,

for now i wont live my life in vain,

i take the rainbow and swallow it whole,

it feels better then the air on a midnight stroll.
