Junkie

Thereā€™s a fire in my belly
Itā€™s been burning for a while
Itā€™s starting to hurt
I think itā€™s called denial
Ā 
I donā€™t have a problem
They take away my stress
I donā€™t want to quit
But maybe I could do less
Ā 
Iā€™m starting to sneak around
Behind my families back
My mind is starting to wander
Getting off track
Ā 
Rehab is my second home
I canā€™t stay out too long
My family wants me to quit
I guess Iā€™m not that strong
Ā 
My motherā€™s always crying
My daughter wonā€™t say my name
My son doesnā€™t understand
And I am filled with shame
Ā 
My wife is angry
Yelling all the time
I guess I must admit
This was never fine
Ā 
I canā€™t undo
The mistakes I have made
I canā€™t ask for forgiveness
Just pray that they will fade
Ā 
Iā€™m crying out for help
I hope it will come
If I am left alone
In darkness I will succumb
Ā 
I know the drugs will kill me
Itā€™s a knife I have placed
I have nowhere to run
In this coffin Iā€™m encased
