[bodytext] => The hunger drives me on, my search is in vain, I‘m not going to find anyone, not in this driving rain. There, a man on the corner, by the street light, I ask if he sells, he gets offended, and starts a fight. I wake up in a puddle, my face torn to shreds, I try to sit up and see purple and reds. I roll on my side, splash puddle on my face, I lay there and wonder how I came to this place. It started with a friend, who said give it a try, I gave in to peer pressure, lit up and took to the sky. The buzz was amazing, the lights were so bright, I chased after that feeling, night after night. My friends became dealers, my family forgotten, I did anything to score, my needs became wanton. I sold my possessions, and moved to the street, My addiction now impossible to beat. I pull myself up, wipe the blood from my eye, The realisation comes, it’s not long till I die. I hold out my hand and whistle for a cab, The driver asks where to? I reply ‘Rehab’.
