Caught Within the Headlights

Beta blockers, Tranquillers, Amphetamines, or Speed
Uppers downers lost emotions nothing fills the need
Big fat pipes stained spoons & burners, twisted Baco foil
Veins in tatters sunken eyes, nothing left to spoil
Periodically she’s anorexic, occasionally she’ll binge
One way traffic, no escape route worship’s the syringe
Round & round in circles with a brain like bubble gum
This way – that way – scag head, junkie pardon the sad pun
No rhyme no reason no firm plans from one second to the other
No thoughts for others fuck the hopes of father, sister, mother
Can she make it will she break it? Evil nasty habit
Caught within the Devils headlights pathetic, frightened rabbit.
