about

A sad song about heroin abuse and loved ones lost.

lyrics

[VERSE 1]

I been rolling with the boys /
and kissing all the girls /
I'm not really sure when I'll regain control /
Really, though, this is how I've always been /
and if I started over, I know I'd do it all again /

Yeah, it's true /
I'm a dog, I'm a tramp /
You can see it in my threads /
I ain't nothing but a VAMP /

I'm just a boy in this fucked up world /
getting fucked up off of captain /
with these fucked up girls /

Got a good lean going on /
party all night, lust feeling going strong /
but i'll pass out before I get action /
never been the type to get involved with crimes of passion /
I just want all the coins and cash, and /
to live a life where I can express my passion /
until then I live my life in a haze /
take a breath, grey clouds /
"Sunny days seem to slip away" /

Heart racing, bedroom pacing /
not ready for the fears I'm facing at the outer limits /
of society, boxed in, isolated /
I find myself frozen by anxiety /

[bridge]

it doesn't matter, got to give it a try /
not sure how I'm going to survive /
how can I make it alive? /
Who do you turn to when you're dying inside /
and your soul is in need of a guide? X2

[VERSE 2]
Used to know you, I won't mention your name /
but your specter's now rattling chains /
I miss you every day... /
I wish, somehow, you would get over your pain/
I wish you could reclaim some of that space in your brain /

Stop putting all that shit in your veins /
this isn't you, but you're never to blame /
Oh, the shit is a shame /
I just wish things were the same /
I wish you well in recalling your name /

as for me, I'm moving on /
to make a space where I might belong...

Little kitten, get in where you fit in /
and no more floating on a sea of drink like "Baby Britain" /

Wish me luck, I'll miss you, man /
give a fuck if you think you can [X 2]
