Mount Heroin

Carry me down the mountain friend

cause I don't think I can make it home

I've set myself up for destruction

that I can't defuse alone 

 

Curiosity it beckoned me  

up the trail away from normality

I'm stuck here with the tremors 

as I tread on insanity  

 

Thirsting for heroins truth

I ride these waves of humiliation 

Climbing for answers

I stumble upon my deceptive rock formations 

 

The drugs they blanket me 

if only temporarily 

when I wake I do believe 

that they're the ones trapping me

 

So harness me with your forgiveness

lower me down to safer ground

make me believe that you believe 

the possibility of change inside of me 

 

Cause I don't want to ever climb again

to reach my highest low

Heroin was the mountain 

no child should ever know
