***** den dreams of laudanum and lace visions of my pleasures missing the aftertaste sssh listen and you can hear me sniffin the sick cringe of addiction on a binge with my affliction healing what's crippled with my own personal prescription the sun goes down the sun goes up none of the chaos ever goes away chasing the idea of a real escape a break from this life before it takes it's toll breaking hopes taking dreams and smothering my restless soul bound and gagged I say nothing tied to a plate by eight white lines and hushed by a drip that robs my voice that hush must be just the reason I never paused even to ask myself if I should stop I realized I hurt I realized I could forget for a little while I realized I found a way I could breathe easy and smile I realized it got out of control I realized it went further than that I realized it takes away everything that is me but what the **** do I do when I'm sober and I realize this is reality sssh listen laudanum and lace and everything tastes like heaven
