i'm sorry but i haven't been the same
since i've seen the needle in his vein
bottom of the barrel
with the roaches and rats
and a monkey on his back
that he just can't crack
but that's how it goes
born knee-deep in pain
now it's up to your nose
you breathe it in
inhale the fact that the end
will now begin
i've seen this happen
in other people's lives
and now it's happening in mine
such a fool, blind to you
the only one to see through
it hit me today
i just called to say
i went the wrong way
