Synthetic con

People use drugs as an escape

From a life of stressful states,

They need something to take them away

From the realistic mundane place,

But it’s all synthetic and messes you up

The more you take the more you want so much,

To recreate that first time buzz

And so you could not get enough,

Some stuff offers artificial love

Some off you hallucinogenic stuff,

Some just helps you to feel happy

But the truth is it will all bring you down,

This is the truth so many have found.
