Broken Lyrics by Benjamin Lerner

2020

I was…
Cooking crack cocaine
Just to mask my pain
But now I start to feel an actual change
When I was digging
With a spike in my arm
Even though when blood would register
I felt a little light, little warm
I didn’t feel I was enlightened through god
Didn’t get the spiritual sense of relief I used to find way before
My nose was stuffed up
My sinus hurt from tears that I swallowed
Barely slept at all that night
Stuck in fear of tomorrow
I woke up – thought that last night was only a fluke
I prepped a fresh rig, shot two bags of dope up for proof
And when I pushed the plunger down I had some hope it would do
What it had done before – make me feel my soul was renewed
That’s when I knew…
It didn’t do the trick anymore
I almost lost it in the motel
Almost kicked in the door
And then I broke down
I thought, “How the fuck am I gonna cope now?”
I’m scared of getting clean, but I don’t get high off of dope now
But I’m too scared to cop me a pistol and even blow out
My brain that maybe now there’s finally no excuse to hold out
I called the treatment center, said I wanted to go
I ain’t gonna flex like I was ready, wasn’t ready fo’ sure
The truth is…
I ain’t never think that gettin’ sober would work
But I was tired of lyin’, fuckin’ people over with words
Just to cop some crack or bars or coke or dope or some percs
Started to think of all my family I knowingly hurt
Left my home, drove two hours…on the road I was there
Searching for something that could get me through my broken despair
