The New Drug
I feel these demons
Welling up in my chest
They scream release
Yet I lay weeping knowing what they take
What they steal
Just one breath
I know what this breath leads to
An immersed hell
Water diluted red
My arms left broken slashed, scarred
Pain is the new drug
Only an addict knows a drug addict’s loss
The loss and all it costs
What is gained
But release

Stop It
Roll-roll, roll your boat on the river of love!
For the drug addicts are too many and they do die easily as well;
But roll your boat on the river of love to overcome drug addict.
Stop it now and feel awaken from your sleep!
Because you are needed by the society around you;
So roll your boat on the river of love to be perfect.
To fickle with no cracking,
And try to save your life from drug addict;
And let this message of love keep you going,
For the hemp smokers and the cocaine users know their probelms as well.
Just roll your boat on the river of love towards success,
With no bottles, pins, and no injections of bad drugs!
For that is the guide to secure your health,
And don't even pass it on.

The Credit's Song
I cannot take it anymore
These cravings drive me nutts
My world it's gone-it's so screwed up
My wrists they bleed with cuts
I scream out loud, I try to run
I fall right down, I have not won
This battle lost-a whole damn war!
And, I scream again-my heart YOU tore!
Right in half, you kidnapped my soul
And, EVERYTHING; this I know!
Goodbye to life, today is gone
And tomorrow-Goodbye, so long!
I gave it up, to this drug
I gave it up, so pull the plug
Life is over-as I know it
I scream inside, but NEVER show it
I can't go on-kill the beast
It is dead-it's deceased!
As I sit, I stare in pain
This drug it has taken over my brain
I cannot stop, I can't let go
This I see, THIS I know
Yet on I RUN-ON I GO!
With the script, to this show
A screwed up movie, about me
Can't you picture THIS MOVIE?
It ends the same, like the rest
I die in vain, withe the best
An addict gone, an addict down
A cry, a tear, a moan, a frown
I wave goodbye, I say so long
And now we hear 'The Credits Song'...

The Perfect Drug
The perfect drug
I got my head, but my head is unraveling
Cant keep control, cant keep track of where its traveling
I got my heart but my heart is no good
And youre the only one thats understood
I come along but I dont know where youre taking me
I shouldnt go but youre reaching back and shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you, the more I die
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You make me hard, when Im all soft inside
I see the truth, when Im all stupid eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart
My blood wants to say hello to you
My feelings want to get inside of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
Every little word is a lack of me
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
(whispering)
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the drug, the perfect drug
Take me, with you
Take me, with you
Take me, with you
(continues in backround)
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Its not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, its not as much fun to pick up the pieces

I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren't the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them.

I do not want to be sick..
You are not evil,
but you are sick,
when you do it.
You are not potent,
but slowly become impotent,
when you do ti.
You would not destroy the bad feelings,
but destroy your brain cells, when you do it.
Lucky human may escape
from the notoriety of hallucinogens.
Unlucky ones suffer
until become paupers.
Do not do it in secret,
as none see you.
you may feel good,
you may feel strong,
you may dance whole day,
you make love whole night,
but when the day arrives,
to warn you,
to drown you,
to mess up you.
You will be left in pain
you will be left alone.
as no human like to be related
with drug addict like you,
who have misunderstood,
the drugs and substances,
for medicine.

On average, drug prisoners spend more time in federal prison than rapists, who often get out on early release because of the overcrowding in prison caused by the Drug War.

Release
I see the world
feel the truth
which way to go

i see the words
on a rocking horse of time
i see the birds in the rain
oh dear dad
can you see me now
i am myself
like you somehow
i'll ride the wave
where it takes me
i'll hold the pain
release me
oh dear dad
can you see me now
i am myself
like you somehow
i'll wait up in the dark
for you to speak to me
i'll open up
release me
release me
release me

Never A Drug-addict Be
A lad went to a chemist
With a big medicine list
Where one puzzling item
Wasn't familiar to him.
'A tablet for happiness, '
Never in his business,
He heard of, any time,
Was that unusual item.
However, he gave a small tablet,
That no where anyone could get,
What the lad ate and thought,
Of no more stress to worry about
The brain, a drug can knock off
And give him a momentary take off
To an unknown distant paradise,
With no pride or prejudice.
But to the hell he'll return,
To fall back again to yearn,
For that hours of happiness lost,
And take the drug till his days last.
Happiness comes not from outside,
But is generated in the heart inside,
With no stress or over-strain
To the God-given wonderful brain.
The charm on objects whatever
Material stays not for ever.
It's in the everlasting spiritual mind
An eternal happiness one can find.
Never a drug-addict be,
Nor go after momentary glee,
But in the divine path see
How happy you're going to be?

the perfect drug
i got my head but my head is unravelling
cant keep control can't keep track of where it's travelling
i got my heart but my heart's no good
you're the only one that's understood
i come along but i dont know where you're taking me
i shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more i give to you the more i die
and i want you
you are the perfect drug

you make me hard when i'm all soft inside
i see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart
my blood just wants to say hello to you
my fears want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little good is left of me
and i want you
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug

the perfect drug
take me with you
without you everything just falls apart

Legal Soft Spot July 26th 2012
LEGAL SOFT SPOT JULY 26TH,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
We have a drug-addict injection site in Vancouver now,
And the federal government couldn't close it or disallow,
Our Supreme Court wouldn't let them and the drug-addicts won,
No questions asked, no appeals and everything was done.
Free drug injection sites paid for by the poor taxpayers now,
And no Canadians got worked up or kicked up a row,
We deserve what we will get for being so submissive,
From our appointed Supreme Court which is too permissive.
The drug addicts also want injection sites in Toronto too,
In a area of the city where people don't much go through,
Add that to the gang-bang problems where people get shot,
Drug-addicts and gang-bangers in our legal soft spot.

To Fine Lady Would-Be
Fine madam Would-Be, wherefore should you fear,
That love to make so well, a child to bear?
The world reputes you barren: but I know
Your 'pothecary, and his drug says no.
Is it the pain affrights? That's soon forgot.
Or your complexion's loss? you have a pot,
That can restore that. Will it hurt your feature?
To make amends, you are thought a wholesome creature.
What should the cause be? Oh, you live at court;
And there's both loss of time, and loss of sport,
In a great belly: Write then on thy womb,
'Of the not born, yet buried, here's the tomb.'

Broken Family
Her family is broken.
Her father's never home and when
he is, he doesn't even notice her.
Her brother is never here, always with
his girlfriend just so he can escape
this place. Her sister the drug addict
and alcoholic, takes her kid to
her ‘husbands' house where he
beats her and treats her like a slave,
cheating on her all the time.
Her mom doesn't care anymore,
just ignores everyone, just like her father.
She herself has given up on this broken family.
It may not seem as broken as the worst but
it's broken enough
for the little girl to
end her life. Leaving behind her family.
They wake up and realize
that their family is broken.
When it's too late

teaching
criminal law
his son
a fruit of
a broken
marriage
says
that his mom
is sending
the best
regards
i must
be so old
that time
his boyfriend
impregnated
her
he was his
student
jobless
and carefree
and
a drug
addict

The Missing Puzzle Piece
I try to think
Of one reason you left me
And, I try to envision
Why you did reject me
Yet, I cannot seem-
To really place it
Or maybe I just can't
Really face it
How could I provide you-
With what heroin could?
How could I give to you-
What that drug, it would?
So seductive, so peaceful
Even graceful when dying
As we'd shoot through sky
So high we were flying
I think of your smile
I remember those eyes
So sad
And, so blue
A devil-
In disguise
YOU were my drug
YOU were my breath
And, now it is over
And, now I face death
So empty-I am
I feel as if I am dead
I now close my eyes
Because, I cannot look ahead
I remember the touch
-The touch of your hand
I remember those feelings
That I now know I can't stand
And, now part of me just
Wants you to bleed
To scream-and to cry!
To feel, and to need
To know what it feels like
To be abandoned
For you to do this to me
I could never even
Have Fathomed
Yet, there it is-
The writing's been written
Across the wall
And, I feel like I've been bitten
By something
That's powerful
And, deadly
And, raw
Like the bite of a viper
Yes, I freeze
But don't thaw
As the venom
Starts flowing
Right through my veins
I scream
And, I choke
As I now lie in pain
I try to get up
Yes, I try to fight
But, it doesn't seem worth it
It just doesn't seem right
So, I kiss you goodbye
And, then I spit in your face!
It is your existance
That I now dream to erase!
Your voice
And, your sorrow
Your anger
And, despair
Your need to keep using
The fact
That you don't even care
One time we lived,
United as one
But, that time has ended
Yes, we've come undone
And, like a puzzle that's missing
It's center piece
I'm left strewn and scattered
Overcome by defeat
Yet, you will be the one
To eventually LOSE
When you are the one
Who again starts to use
And you'll use 'till it's over
And, your RIPPED
And, your BROKEN
As you sit on the floor
Left rotting and CHOKING
And, then I will chuckle
Hell-I might even grin!
My life I'll renew,
A new life I will begin.

Drugs War And Hate
Do I see
What nobody else can see
Is it just me
or is the world going down
The wars
The drugs
The hate
Do we want our children
to see what we have to flee
Do I want
My child to see
The drug crazed eyes
The drug talk banter
of someone who is high
Hiding behind a lie
Thinking it's all fine
Do I want
My child to see
The pain and the hate
that war can bring
The losing of sight
The loss of life and limb
No
I want
My child to see
Love happiness and peace

INJECTION SITES May 14th,2011
Are they building an injection site on your street near your home?
Beside the abortion clinic and you’re not allowed to groan,
And the nice people coming and going will be very discreet,
And you thought that your home would be a quiet retreat.
An appointed Supreme Court decision for the abortion clinic,
They can have them anywhere and you can’t be a cynic,
Although the injection site may attract lots of drug-addict types,
Because free injection sites is what these drug addicts like.
Politicians seem to be going along for some strange reason,
No one can say that this might be a problem or treason,
Because access to this type of information is very tight,
The left wing activists love it and think that they are right.

Injectıon Sıtes 9
Rooms full of appointees making life and death decisions,
No binding referendums allowed and no revisions,
Abortion clinics on every street next to the injection sites,
While the activists claim that the drug addicts have Charter rights.
They tried to do the same thing in Europe and were completely banned,
Unfortunately Canadians don’t seem able to take a stand,
We seem to have lost control of these drug-addict injection sites,
Has some politician up in Ottawa turned out the lights?
This issue seems to have faded from the pages of the media,
Maybe they’re busy reading a left-wing encyclopedia,
Have we all gong mad as this is taking place right up front,
Where are our oddball Canadian politicians who should confront?
