Drop out

Black, tarry substance makes my head feel this way

Brown, pungent odor everything will be okay

Sell me a pound to get me through another day

Cannabis

Devils weed

Fiorinal

It doesn’t help

It doesn’t help

Drop out

Cold universal solvent makes me want to fly

Hostile, physical impairment when I drive

Drink everything — drink everything in sight

Ethanol

Staggering

Vicodin

It doesn’t help

It doesn’t help

Drop out

Panic brain wave abnormalities

Fatigue withdrawal symptoms from depressant drugs

Burst blood vessels inside my brain

Alcohol

Stimulants

Methadone

It never helps

It never helps

Fly.
