I just wanted to try it, just one time See what it was like, just one time. It wasn’t just once coz I liked the feeling The numb sensation made it more appealing. Free from all pain, the hassles and stress Blind to the fact my habit was causing a mess. Chasing the dragon at first was fun Now I know it was when my problems begun. Walking the streets, searching the town Looking for my best friend – my powder brown. The friend on who I always depend Always there to count on till the end. Bathing me in warmth like a wave Who says heaven is after the grave? With the magic trance I shut the world out Forget my troubles and cast away doubt. Like everything else it has it’s price It’s demanding and cruel but sure is nice. There are various ways it can be done Chasing the dragon was how I begun. My body at first seemed to reject But I found my high when I started to inject. Sooner or later you realize it’s bad Taking heroin is completely mad. Looking for the next fix is bad enough Worse is waking up feeling rough. Physically needing the drug is torture itself Nothing else matters not even your health. Eventually I wanted to leave behind the smack It requires determination, which most addicts lack. With nowhere to live, nothing to eat I was completely exhausted, physically beat. I was terrified of coming off gear I’d been dependent on it year after year. I’d lost everything due to the evil stuff I couldn’t cope any more, enough was enough. I knew it’d be hard of that I had no doubt But realized it was my life on which I was missing out. I was desperate and determined to have my life back The quality of life was shit offered by Smack. I knew it’d be hard, I knew it’d be a fight But knew my choice was completely right. Being a Smackhead is no life for anyone Sooner or later a detox must be done. Many times I’ve wished I could run and hide Sleepless nights I have lain and cried. Memories filled only with regret Recalling times I’d rather forget. I can’t stop the tears rolling down my face How I wish I was in a different time and place. I’ve done it now and determined to stay off the shit I’ll never ever crave for one last hit. |
