In the shadows of the city streets
Where the desperate souls retreat
There lies a darkness, a twisted game
Of the dope in their veins, a spiraling chain

Their minds clouded, their hearts hollow

They stumble through alleyways, lost in a daze
Their dreams shattered, their hopes ablaze
In the grip of addiction, they spiral down
Chasing a high that can never be found

They pawn their possessions, they beg and they steal
To feed the monster that's all too real
