My life is a series of mistakes
But many can be traced back to one
When as a youth I was given a means
to soothe all my sorrow
So I bit the fruit
Could taste the sap just dripping from my teeth
It nourished and assuaged
Feeble boy gave way
Playing was the last thing to go through my mind
Once I languished under those warm, warm covers
I was a tender youth
Dug the feeling and then fell into the hole
And felt no need to get out
Because no truth can be known that an addict can’t scorn
I was a vulnerable child
I took the dive and I breathed, and I breathed
until my lungs began to seize
Because no truth can be shown that an addict can’t scorn
Yeah, I can taste the sap still dripping from my teeth
So sweet it cannot fade
Because even time cannot ease an addict’s disease
So here I am now
I should have known that it would not be easy
But I couldn’t have known that it’d be this hard
Because sedation alone puts an addict at home
