Insanity warps my mind to nothing
With each breath I take life I lose
Throw my Caracas aside
Put me where I belong
Transform me into one of the leftovers
The small control my actions
The tiny control my emotions
I'm just another puppet on strings
Throw me into the fireplace
Transform me into one of the leftovers
Your transaction is my pleasure
My routine is your crime
The price is high
My money and soul I pay
Now I look up at you from down bellow
Never to ever again tell someone hello
Now I'm what was previous
I'm just another one of the leftovers

I have never done drugs but they are bad for you. If you do them you are a victim and become a leftover to the dealer.Don't do it and if you are stop.
