Black Barren Lands

Youth gave many thing to me
A love that was forever
An absence to regret
The drug was never far from me
My serpent of tentation
My long hard road down to
Nowhere
Black barren landscapes of
Hopeless days without end
Those desesperate days
Always the blur
Always the urge
Those life-eating days
Those Torturous days of crawling
And begging for more
She was always part of it
Stocking the addiction
Sharing in my pain
She was my lust, my hunger, my enemy
My serpent of tentation
My long hard road down to
Nowhere
Black barren landscapes of
Hopeless days without end
Those desesperate days
Always the blur
Always the urge
Those life-eating days
Those Torturous days of crawling
And begging for more
Too close to diying and realized
That changing was my only chance
I went to through the horrors
Of sobering up
But she could not leave them behind
Those desesperate days
Always the blur
Always the urge
Those life-eating days
Those Torturous days of crawling
And begging for more
