D Tox – Once An Addict Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- Growing up was hard in this dark age
- Looking up to grown men crushing up class A's
- As a kid i would steal off my class mates
- Lash out and scream as I struggled with my hearts pains
- Empty baggies in the bottom of the school bag
- Sat at the back of class hooting cans as I flashed back
- FUCK IT was the attitude I used to have
- I used to hate my mum because I blamed her cos i missed my dad
- With my behaviour kid my schooling never last long
- Only cracked a smile while smoking up a large bong
- Fully addicted I would lie and I would steal for it
- 15 i was trapped between the papers like a paper clip
- Years passed swear I stayed the same cunt
- choking in a dark room I blazed away my A+
- I was intelligent but all I made was bad choices
- Now 17 n haunted by these mad voices
- Telling me that I was better off a dead man
- with the devil on my shoulder saying your fucked up in the head Dan
- Turning me against the people that I held close
- Choking on the fumes I was enveloped in this fell smoke
- I didn't see it but son enough the session ended
- me & the weed done broke off a weathered friendship
- Like on a health trip I tried to get myself straight
- Ended up falling off the wagon down through hells gates
Chorus
- Once an addict ........................................ Always an addict
- Once an addict ........................................ Always an addict
- Once an addict ........................................ Always an addict
- Once an addict, always an addict, some man crumble cos they just cant hack it
Verse 2
- 18 now I wouldn't blaze bare weed
- but sniffing up lines like a hoover... Henry the 8th of ket
- man I thought I was the price of powder
- id shout because the voices in my head were loader
- Poisoning myself while I was mentally ill
- if only I had a penny for ever braincell killed
- id be a... Billionaire by now, who knows maybe more
- young and lost amongst drugs at Park Street, 94
- Of course I would divorce the law
- Cook up drugs n then sell them out the door as if it wasn't against the law
- I mean it was, easy money a lifestyle for nomads
- Jumped up junkies smoking crack through those coke cans
- Anyway back to business, all there is say
- Wreckage after comedown with the weed I got on tick
- Sat there shaking like a little bitch I couldn't handle it
- The walls were closing in... all my friends had turned to manikins
- Robots I couldn't recognise a single one
- Spinning out to fuck I was convinced that my time was up
- I couldn't breath I found my eye sight closing in
- Heart beating so hard it actually broke my ribs
- Ii started fitting, foaming from the mouth too
- eyes rolling back to the Rhythm of the loud tunes
- Screamed out in a last attempt to get help
- But little did I realise I was already in hell
- I herd a voice I didn't recognise at first
- then an overwhelming vision of a guy inside a hearse
- but no one else was there, the driver wore a black cloak
- Speeding down the highway to hell, as he cracked jokes
- I tried to scream but I couldn't speak
- That's when I woke up to my best friend screaming at me
- He said id OD'd and died, cold cardiac arrest
- And he had tried CPR but nothing in my chest
- So he assumed that i was dead
- Scatting out scared all these other cunts
- 20 minuets passed with my face grey-blue
- That;s when Dan Webster died and D-TOX came too
- Now you wonder why I write ma?
- I don't think gangster, I don't think I'm hard
- I just cant put pen to paper without it writing bars
- And if you died n went to hell n then came back
- Don't you think that chances are YOU wouldn't be the same chap.
