I make music because it helps me through difficult times, and hopefully to help others get through them as well. A few months ago, Tammy Sienkiewicz reached out to me about a poem her daughter Alex wrote while fighting a terrible addiction to Heroin. She then shared the details about Alex’s overdose...
Hey girl, it's been a while
I see you got your color back and that pretty smile
Well put together and you're mostly upbeat
I know you're still hurting with demons to defeat
They say staying positive will help you get through
So you push and you fight til' you're alone in your room
They say staying positive will help you get through
So you push and you fight til' you're alone in your room
That's when I creep in
They mess with your, with your head
I keep, keep you down
Heart as heavy, heavy as lead
I am the devil on your left
I am the angel on your right
I am the devil on your left
I am the angel on your right
Disappointment lies in secrets you keep
Eating you alive, countless nights with no sleep
Suffer in silence, day in and day out
Tell them you are fine, your eyes full of doubt
No longer using
But still dying inside
You're wanting the help
But still, you're trying to hide
No longer using
But still dying inside
You're wanting the help
But still, you're trying to hide
That's when I creep in
They mess with your, with your head
I keep, keep you down
Heart as heavy, heavy as lead
That's when I creep in
They mess with your, with your head
I keep, keep you down
Heart as heavy, heavy as lead
I am the devil on your left
Sitting on your shoulder
Soon the angel on your right
Will take over
Eternal peace is not
Hard to find
I'm that final relapse
Forever on your mind
That's when I creep in
They mess with your, with your head
I keep, keep you down
Heart as heavy, heavy as lead
That's when I creep in
They mess with your, with your head
I keep, keep you down
Heart as heavy, heavy as lead
Heavy as lead
I'm that final relapse
Forever on your mind
