Recently, to forget things, I smoked some heroin, I said only once, I...said that...but within the past few weeks now I've been reusing and I think I'm addicted, no, it's not a joke, its just one of those unfortunate things, I craved something bigger than the drugs I was already doing, something better, to help me forget, and this is the price I had to pay

I've been down recently
And its only gotten worse
There's no sign of this ever releasing me
This addiction hurts
I haven't got any reason
Apart from the promise I made to you
I promised that I'd stay true

So I wanted to know how you're doing
I hope you're just fine
I hope you still think of me
Cause you are always on my mind
And even in the midst of this I still think of you
Even after all of the hell I've been through
And if I could go back and change it I would
I would give anything at all to change this
The addiction, the needle
The feelings that keep me feeble
I'm an addict without perpose
Just a person who feels worthless
Its times like these when I need you

So I've been wondering where you've been
While I'm doing heroin
Pasty skin and broken eyes
My breath wearing thin
I wish you were here sometimes
So you could stop me
I know you would
I wish I could
I said I'd only do it once
Forget the worst things in my life
Forget the promises I made to you
Like when I promised I'd make you my wife

 So I wanted to know how you're doing
I hope you're just fine
I hope you still think of me
Cause you are always on my mind
And even in the midst of this I still think of you
Even after all of the hell I've been through
And if I could go back and change it I would
I would give anything at all to change this
The addiction, the needle
The feelings that keep me feeble
I'm an addict without perpose
Just a person who feels worthless
Its times like these when I need you

Cause there ain't nothing
That burns in the back of my mind like your smile
I've been longing for you
Cause it's been a while
And while I replaced you with heroin
It hasn't quite been the same
I swear to god even with this
I can't forget your name
It'll never go away

So I wanted to know how you're doing
I hope you're just fine
I hope you still think of me
Cause you are always on my mind
And even in the midst of this I still think of you
Even after all of the hell I've been through
And if I could go back and change it I would
I would give anything at all to change this
The addiction, the needle
The feelings that keep me feeble
I'm an addict without perpose
Just a person who feels worthless
Its times like these when I need you

Cause to see again your smile is all I have left to live for...

I read something a few days back in an interview with Damon Albarn, front man of Blur and one of the minds behind Gorillaz


"I thought everyone did," he says with a groan. "I thought everyone was just being really nice, and not making too much of a deal of it. Cos, you know, although I totally agree with your astute observation, the reality of any experimentation is that it can become habitual, and it can take over your life… [pause] I would never, ever disagree with the enlightening abilities of drugs, I also… you know… respect their potency. You have to have very good intentions, otherwise… even the best intentions in the world can go awry."

And did they with you?

"I think inevitably, they do with anybody who… you know… has that innate, spiritual kind of yearning."

In other words, nobody manages to do heroin on their terms.

"There's no such thing as our terms. There are only universal terms that we all have to abide by. And live with."



Sellon, you've gotta get yourself out of this now. You've got all these other mental issues to contend with and Heroin isn't really an escape, it's just another problem you're gonna have to deal with and it's gonna get bigger and bigger and soon it'll be exacerbating the underlying problems you're trying to escape from anyway. I lost an uncle to heroin use (not a lose one, bit of a skeleton in the family's closet given that he was also a love child) and he was in a pretty similar situation to you. The fucked up thing is that I went through that and I'm still no better equipped to help others, like yourself, avoid addiction.

Just get help. Phone a helpline, a rehab clinic, a hospital, whatever, just don't let it get worse.

Hey bro, another piece with great impact.
Dude, all anyone can tell you is to get your stuff together and go across the finish line to get free from your problems, but thing is, what we tell you won't change a thing. In the end, it's all gonna be up to you to free yourself. One can only give you so many advices, but if you don't say to yourself "hey, I've got this down, I'm over this", nothing would help. Only person who can take a turn for the better, is well, you. Just keep trying man, I'm sure you'll get there! Good luck! :D

The real problem is, you like talking about your problem..... ::)

You need a smack more than smack..grow up.

Btw ..i thought your latest lyrics are really good ...but what you use as a source of inspiration...is really starting to bug, and not just me i suspect.

You have such raw talent Sellon , I think you cold revisit your work and condense and tweak to make it truley world class

But just great raw melancholic work :D

But smack is bad Sellon so I can't have you thinking that I condone this - you are too young and you can turn your life around without that shite

I would guess in a private bar a few on this forum would have tales to tell - the lucky ones who make it through will testify to that

God bless ;)

I really liked it man!

Your situation is touch, ive been through drug addictions many times, still am a bit to be fair, not full blown need though.

with my experience with addiction is you wont quit until you are ready to, and until you work through the problem that's caused you to reach out for them.

but also drugs are a great form of creativity (its true so don't BS me that its not, im not saying its something anyone should do, the negatives far out weigh the positives) so at least your putting something positive into a situation that seems to have none.

I loved the song man, it spoke to me, im glad its the first thing i read on here.

anyway bro if you need any help talking about drugs, hit me up.

Liam - I know you're new here, and we welcome you, but cool it, ok?

Adam, I didn't read what you originally posted, but whatever it was, you thought it was better edited out. The lesson here is to think before you post.

It's good to see passion in you guys, but lets try and keep the passion about the songs, not against each other.

Peace :)

Cheers Tone. Adam was a bit unnecessary and harsh and I'm glad he edited his post at Liam's request but Liam's request was also a tad harsh.

Sellon has a lot to deal with in his life because of mental conditions and recent events so it's quite easy for us to sit on the other end of a screen and be over-compassionate or over-critical because, really, we aren't there and can't gauge what level of support Sellon needs right now and how it's best to provide it.

Basically, it's a touchy subject and we're all here for Sellon (well, I am) but instead of giving him all our advice all at once we should probably let him go to who he wants for help.

I recommend this thread be locked and a message left here for Sellon that our inboxes are open to him always.

Thanks Corsair

I'm going to leave the thread open for now, but any more posts of questionable content or intent, and I'll think again.
