it's the light of the match
the pull of the drug
the pour of the tap
the sip of the glass
down the hatch
into the lungs
throughout the body
altering the mind
living in an altered
better state of life
that was then
this is now
sober
walking the straight and narrow
missing the fix
battling the mind
wondering what can still be
indulged in life
if not what i've known
for all this time
