BNL War On Drugs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLZFBfjo3TM

Not a great quality video but all I could find...Here are the words

"War On Drugs"

She likes to sleep with the radio on
So she can dream of her favorite song
The one that no one has ever sung since she was small

She'll never know that she made it up
She had a soul and we ate it up
Thrown away like a paper cup
The music falls

The only flaw in her detailed plan
Is where she wins back the love of her man
Everyone knows that he's never coming back

He took her heart and she took his name
He couldn't stand taking all the blame
He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company

In the dream I refuse to have
She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath
We're left to deal with the aftermath again

On behalf of humanity
I will fight for your sanity
How profound such profanity can be

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company

Won't it be odd to be happy like we
Always thought we're supposed to feel
But never seem to be

Near where I live there's a viaduct
Where people jump when they're out of luck
Raining down on the cars and trucks below

They've put a net there to catch their fall
Like it'll stop anyone at all
What they don't know is when nature calls, you go

They say that Jesus and mental health
Are just for those who can help themselves
But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?

From the very fear that makes you want to die
Is just the same as what keeps you alive
It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
Of all these demons haunting us
To keep us company

Won't it be odd to be happy like we
Always thought we're supposed to feel
But never seem to be

Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs
My hands were tied and the phone was bugged
Another died and the world just shrugged it off





*on that note, for my own well-being I'll be taking a break from DU (*NOTE THIS IS NOT A GOODBYE CRUEL BOARD POST!) It is just too painful for me to be here right now. I've humiliated myself enough and I can't let myself be so deliberately hurt anymore. I know there are people who genuinely care about my well-being so I didn't want my absence to lead anyone to believe that I've given in to my demons. That is the ONLY reason I'm posting this. I don't think I have the will power to just check my pm's here and not further torture myself by reading posts...so if you would like to reach me, find me on myspace (I'm on the DU group) and give me a shout out.

Thank you for all your support.

2. Hey BNL
hope you change your mind, but at any rate, come back soon. I enjoy your posts and you seem aways to be respectful of others. I'm so sorry that someone has hurt you. That's just rotten. I don't understand the meanness around here sometimes.:hug:

10. Thanks for the heads up, Dude!
I'll check out that recovery room. I am always at GREAT risk during the hoildays. That old urge to use really rears its head! Know what I mean?
BADA BING!

11. That's A Great Sig Line
and yeah, I know what ya mean

this year is a real test I guess. 21 years clean and sober, but that old addict inside is like an ember in a fire, all it takes is a little stoking of it and it wants to rear it's head.

Good luck, and you can usually find me here sometime, I've been to the recovery area some, but it moves kind of slow. The lounge is kind of like well, the lounge.

GD is great for all kinds of discussions.

You just have to find where you like and go there.

Take Care:pals:
