about

When empathy towards the self destructive becomes a plague. Avoiding parasitism. Learning to row when the drowning start capsizing the rescue boat. The guilt of giving up on a friend in need.

lyrics

Needle Kiss
He claims there are days he'll be okay,
like I may trust a phrase he'll say?
I've made so many efforts in vain,
and he's a castaway I can't successfully save.
Too many visits I've paid his island,
too many times when he tried smiling,
Mind you, gladness is madness in the face of Armageddon,
and I'm charmed attempting to start forgetting
about your arm's injections that caused infections
and marred our friendship, no martyr's presence...
I had to leave you, I need amnesia to make this easier,
I can't breathe for me yet, I seek relief for your grieved apnea?
I threw these buoys of advice, love, hugs, money,
and true pleas, to try to plug up your ugly
but you keep choosing to spoon feed the fluid groupie
doom inducing movie, producing my guilty need
to cut tape and just take a new direction.
It seems a dangerous suggestion on a teleprompter
descending a helicopter to stray to straight collision
in a flame prone district when on a rescue mission.
I wish I'd be the friend to see
you removing your IV dependency.
You're addicted to the needle kiss,
you've accepted that you need illness.

If you have to slash yourself so bad,
it shouldn't be hard to start from scratch,
you're maniacally attached to that as an addict,
and I'm panicking, I happen to just want you back.
I'm out of lifesavers to try to cater to evil with,
And in the end it's sink the needle in and sink or we will swim,
Since you consistently instinctively ripped these
swimmies viciously with your syringe.
Now it’s hell or high water over which you need to keep your chin.
You can singe our bridge along with my skin,
that's how you're down in the high tide’s grip,
Now, I've been refusing to dive in
to drown grim to extinguish this, not even for my kin.
The choreography of your eulogy is me
kicking myself in guilt again.
Feeling like I couldn’t help but help to kill a friend.
I wish I'd be the friend to see
you removing your IV dependency.
You're addicted to the needle kiss,
you've accepted that you need illness.
Maybe I've got to let you go,
Sorry I'm not dependable.
I've not even strength enough for me,
I'll just justify this as entropy...

A real friend wouldn't stop 'til you stopped,
A real man would've dropped all 'til you dropped all.
