about

This song is about slavery associated with substance abuse. It is the story of the darkest time in one's life when the pain and agony in the midst of addiction are nearly fatal.

lyrics

Had milk, had honey
Had liquor, had money.
Got mad, got sad
Freaked out, I got bad.
Woke up half dead
Hammers in my head.
No money, no mind
Each night I cried, I lied

Can’t breathe, mind slippin’
Liver keeps flippin’,
Cocaine, more pain
Taste blood------it’s insane.
Cold sweat, hot head
Spiders in my bed.
Chained down, boxed in
It’s real, can’t feel, big deal!!!

Leave me alone now.
I want to be a stone now.
Oh God, I’m dying.
No more crying.
It can’t be mended,
And I won’t pretend it
Wasn’t me
Who caused it all.

My eyes that once showed sadness
Are hollows of madness.
Reflection void of grace,
I spit-----at my face.
I look again and see
A demon-----lookin’ back at me.
Spin ‘round, fall down:
Dead meat, excrete, so sweet!
