actually this is about "self-medicating" because the meds don't cut it.

when your heart goes cold
and it starts to snow
inside your soul

you know you're fading away

when the pills ain't enough
when you don't bother getting drunk
when you're sick of throwing up

you know you're fading away

when you're doing lines of coke
and you replaces your smokes
with constant marijuana choke

you know you're fading away
