Hard Drugs addresses a period in Frontman Justin Osborne’s time with his band before they moved to Charleston. In an interview with the Consequence of Sound he addresses how once he had done acid with a group of friends, and a member of the group collapsed. He relates the aftermath of this and how...
I had a dream that we were doing hard drugs in a street alley
You were lying dead next to me
You said you had a vision of Vietnam
You saw me jump on a grenade and watched my limbs fall off
But I was in heaven then
I don't care who's asking, you can tell them the truth
I've had a longtime struggle with substance abuse
But I feel fine
And if you really think he loves and you want to go away
Well, I want the best and I'm not here to make you stay
I'm just glad that I found you
And sorry that I couldn't keep you around
We took you to the urgent care
They turned us away
You had an outstanding balance we couldn't pay
You started crying
Then in the pouring rain we found you a hospital bed
And when they picked you up to move you
All the sheets were red
You were a woman then
Well I don't know who's asking, but I'll them the truth
I've had a real hard time losing you
And you can tell me that he loves you, but I know it's a lie
'Cause I've seen how he treats you
And honey I don't want to fight
I'm just glad that I found you
And sorry that I couldn't keep you around
Well I don't care who's asking, you can tell them the truth
I've had a hard time living and I know you'd had a hard time too
And if you want to know who loves you
You can start right here
But don't come home just to leave
'Cause I'm glad that I found you
But I don't want you to leave me hanging around
