Sister Cocaine

By Steve Durand

Each and every evening I engage in my escapist enterprises
And while it's what I want I wish I would work up the will to wonder why

This infernal institution invites introspection into imperfection
A meager mercy mission meant to medicate my mind

Sister cocaine take my pain away
Don't rain on my parade
The blade awaits to separate the grains

Cousin morphine
you're absorbed into my veins

Fearsome feral phantoms floating freely fall and feed on my frustration
Damned detoxification drives the demons down to dine on my despair

This recent rare remission runs the risk to replay radical regression
And amplifies the angst of which I'm anxiously aware

Sister cocaine take my pain away
Don't rain on my parade
The blade awaits to separate the grains

Cousin morphine
you're absorbed into my veins
