I gave everything for addiction, 
Gave into hate and anger/ 
I’d look into the mirror everyday, 
Not see me just a stranger/ 
I should be able to  love myself, 
But I was my biggest hater/ 
My reflections a walking skeleton, 
Skin and bone, thin as paper/ 
Cocaine had me angry, 
A bitter man gone insane/ 
Living in insanity, 
loss, and pain, and shame/ 
everyone else in the room,
He didn’t  hesitate to blame/ 
So everyone that he let in, 
Left faster than they came/ 
The pain that I had caused
A prayer to god I sung/ 
Lord show me I’m not cancer, 
Stuck inside these cigarette butts//
Tell me I ain’t toxic, 
As I I’m creeping in their lungs/ 
And if I am, help me change, 
I seem to hurt everyone I touch//
