An addicts plea

As my blood smears the past
Ive wasted too many years on the flask
Ive chased my dreams with codeine
Burned my soul with gasoline
Wash my hands but desire wont come clean
I have nothing left when I cant hide
Smothered by the smell of formaldehyde
Let me go into the unknown
A broken past a broken home
A broken jaw and a broken phone
My only companion is the dial tone
Countless years of hell I spent alone
A cocaine laced throne
Never left to roam
I gaze upon the cross
In a daze until Im lost
Ive been damned since birth
I abused alcohol and children first
But the needle was my curse
I forced my wife to breed
Infected her with my hate filled seed
So I dont fear god I fear my needs
I dont fear the devil I fear my greed.
