Show Me How You Self Destruct

from An Autobiography by Old Gray

/

about

Charlie: This is the closest I've ever been able to come to truly convey the feeling of being controlled by opiates. I didn't want some long drawn out graphic description, of getting high or detoxing. Just to convey the everyday struggle, of not being able to quit this one thing which left me alone and homeless while I still romanticized it thinking it would bring me the same escape it did at first, but then all I would get was not dope sick. This is about chasing something you can never get again, and continuing to do so against your will.

lyrics

Charlie: My blinding distraction gone in seconds for hours of your wasted moments. I dug a grave for my purpose. Tuned in to a bright future sat front row as it crumbled and fell. Tie me up nice so I don’t have to feel this relief flowing through my veins I traded my soul for a rush, my fix, now I hurt without, even with. Always chasing always hating ever loving never enough my subconscious effort not to succeed. Where did my refuge go? You used to hold me, now we embrace and you turn your back.
