i’ve had too much of something
or maybe not enough
my reality is itching
but i won't scratch from that stuff
i think about the want and need
i think about my addicts greed
i know where this is trying to lead
and in the past i would concede
i’d let it take me i'd let it break me
and once more i’d watch me bleed
somebody else’s too much could be
someone else’s not enough
getting it is way too easy
leaving it is very rough
i've had too much heroin
but not enough to overdose
not much of a human anymore
just another skinny ghost
i've had too much amphetamine
my nights and days don’t end
that can be handled adjusted and such
but the wounds it makes won't mend
i’ve had too much lsd and mushies
may have burned some holes inside my brain
a habit unlearnt to which i returned
a pleasant role for which i was rigorously trained
i’ve had too many prescription pills
there was a time i rattled whenever i moved
uppers and downers mandies and roofies
they helped me to find my real groove (or so i thought)
i think i may have drunk too much beer
my gut hangs over my pants
i haven’t seen my dick in months
every piss now is a splashy surprise
i think i might talk way too much shit
i get told to shut up or fuck off quite a lot
i know it’s all spraff but they get all naff
and all those things that i haven’t quite got
