Inject the music into pale white flesh;
Veins start to throb with rhythm & melody.
A heart race of 1,000 beats per second;
Music notes racing all throughout the body.
You are alive.
Your body greedily hungers for more.
You inject a sweet new genre of music;
your cold blood shot eyes open wide.
Floating upon the highest cloud,
You fall back to the ground.
You have become the addict.
Have you not a care to the world
of what you have become?
Eager for a taste of sound?

I live drug-free, and in substitute for a drug like desire would be my music. It powers my soul, and keeps my body functioning through hard times.
