When my wife and son go to sleep,I'll go and come back,
I just need to sneak next door and get some crack.
Let me drink and do drugs until I pass out,
Then when I wake up, I'll scream and shout.
I'll make them so afraid of me, they'll leave me alone,
I can't wait until the next time I get stoned.
They'll never leave me,they have no money to live,
So,I'll do what I want, and they can take what I give.
But my wife knew crackhead came to see me too much,
She knew he was a parasite she wouldn't even touch.
She accused me of being on crack and pills,
She said that, and alcohol, caused all of our ills.
My son became angry because I cursed his mom,
He'd say,"you're just a drunk, boy, bring it on!"
But his mom, that bitch, would stop me every time,
She took Jesse's side every the time over mine.
I can't believe she had the guts to leave me,
She's such a stupid bitch, she needs help, mentally.
After awhile, my son left too,
Well, he was lazy and dropped out of school.
There's nothing wrong with me, it's them,
I think I'll go next door, drink and smoke crack with him.
It won't be long, they'll be back again.

Addiction
My World has been crushed; it's been destroyed
All has been lost, there is no hope
I've been replaced by one who
Blurry shards of accusation
fall near to where I kneel
a slave
waiting for more sugar coated poison
Haloed outlines in colored
