Losing your joy, playing with dangerous toys
insulate yourself from life and all of its big noise
Insinuate a fever dream, instigate a requiem
a deafening explosion of shame, an orgasm inside of your brain

Silly young man why you using heroin?
I thought you knew better than that
I thought you knew better than that

Beautiful lost girl, you turn your back on this mean sweet world
A taste of heaven, some part of you dies
til you’re something you can’t recognize

Raised to know better than dying using heroin
A judgement discrepancy, cutting life expectancy
I thought you knew better than that
I thought you knew better than that

Didn’t 71 teach us anything?
Didn’t 94 teach us anything?
It’s called to me and tempted me but never quite captured me
I always just turned away, I’ve lost so many friends that way

Missing my friends who died using heroin
I thought they knew better than that
I thought they knew better than that
