My friend just died of a heroin OD. The only song we could think of was "Hurt" - the Johnny Cash version - and "The needle and the damage done" by Neil Young. He was only 20. He was like my big brother, everyone just looked the other way at his problem and this is what happens. Southie has a huge heroin problem - it always has and it's so common no one does anything. Five out of ten of my friends are junkies - what can you do?
Lyrics I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear you are someone else I am still right here
what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt
if I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
