And when my soul starts to bleed
I need my weed

The future ain't hard to see
On my L.S.D.

Sure it's my free will
When I take my pill





And right before I go insane
Cocaine

And when my soul starts to bleed
In times of emotional turmoil and anguish,


I need my weed
I find solace and comfort in consuming marijuana,


The future ain't hard to see
It's not difficult to predict what lies ahead,


On my L.S.D.
While under the influence of the hallucinogenic drug LSD,


Sure it's my free will
I believe I am exercising my freedom of choice,


When I take my pill
But in reality, I am succumbing to my addiction by consuming my drug of choice,


And right before I go insane
As I approach the point of losing control of my mental faculties,


Cocaine
I turn to cocaine as a means of temporary escape from my daily struggles and inner demons,
