prison without bars

you lie in bed
you tremble and sweat
its your very existance
you come to regret

you know the result
you know the stakes
every joint hurts
your hole body aches

your breathing is heavy
your coughing and weazing
your stomach's in a knot
and you feel like your freezing

you feel like your dying
your whole body is sore
one thing is for sure
your a prisoner of war

your emotions run high
the fear is so real
you dont have enough strength
not even to cry

you have no money
to cure this fit
you have nothing to trade
just for one more hit

you need it so bad
as you pray for another
you'd do whatever it takes
you'd even sell your mother

it takes controll
over your useless life
it plays many roles, at times
even your wife

it has no conscience
it knows no end
it made you give up your family
and turn your back on your friends

it's the best friend
you've ever known
it made you believe lies
that your never done

the love left your heart
theres no life in your eyes
you lay there trembling
this is your very own demise

you made it an oath
to always be true
your hopelesly addicted
to what it does to you

so here you are
lying in bed
dope has deserted you
and left you for dead

your mind is aching
your seeing stars
your now held captive
in a prison without bars

the saddest part is
you know it wont end
the very next day
you'll do it again

come hail or snow
sunshine or rain
you'll find yourself once again
putting a hole in your vein

with each new hit
death comes on slow
but the human part of you
has died long ago

you use to get off on it
it was such a blast
but with every new hit
you pray it's your last

your habit is hungry
it needs to be fed
lying in agony
you wished you were dead

you were foretold in the future
but you didnt heed it
now all you can do is wonder
where is death when you need it
