Junkie

I've seen what humans will do to other humans for dollars
Why should I think you're any different
I am not as weak as you perceive me to be
I'll ditch you and flee to reality

You cannot help those who refuse to help themselves
And you probably can't help me either
But I refuse to be caught up in a web
Of this tragic comedy theater

I see her
Stick the needle in
It agitates me
But to each their own

I just refuse to be around
Junkies ever again
Some lifestyles are akin to suicide pacts
And I just can't be there for you

Because you think you're invincible
But you're just another mortal
I would rather step right through
Into this portal

Please take me away
I can't believe I even thought it was acceptable to be around these people
I guess I thought of it as a case study in my own mind
But now I refuse
To associate with you and your kind

This is really fucked up
But I won't cry
When you die
You're living a lie.
