Mirrors and razors

The dark side of life where some never learn to see the light...

 

Mirrors and razors are their tools, the coke addicted mindless fools

Bleeding noses and brains of rage, the dealer has you in his cage

An honest wage wont run this show, so what you do is deal some blow

Now the cages you control, for each new sucker you enrol

So now you've got cocaine to spare, you take it with you everywhere

Life is cool, or so it seems, but you've lost sight of all your dreams

The only love you've ever known becomes a satan to your stone

And so begins your world of lies, reality eludes your eyes

Your existence now is a life of deceit, always thinking you can beat

The monkey riding on your back, who deftly steers you down the track

That brings you to the gates of hell, where your soul is all you've got to sell

And sell your soul is what you do, for the life you had is all but through

Now in hell you congregate, with other fools who've passed the gate

Angry and dangerous in withdrawal's thought

Scheming ways for another snort

There is no law, there are no rules, for the coke addicted mindless fools.

You brought a lot of understanding to everyone's attention who reads this. The parts addressing being caged and controlled by the dealer, the drug, and all of the circumstances, are an honest rendering. I have been around a lot of this, and I have noticed that what you say is absolutely true. Thanks for sharing this, David. Well expressed reality, this one is.
