i don’t need the drugs
that take me to the places
that i don’t need
to go
don’t need the drugs
that keep me up all night
don’t need the drugs
that make me feel alright
i don’t need the drugs
that take me to the spaces
that i don’t need
to know
don’t need the drugs
that put me to sleep
don’t need the drugs
that make me weep
i don’t need the drugs
that let me track the traces
of the tears
when they flow
don’t need the drugs
that let me be led
don’t need the drugs
that mess with my head
i don’t need the drugs
that let me see the faces
of those who never
said no
don’t need the drugs
that tease and taunt me
don’t need the drugs
that need to haunt me
