Paradox - Morphine

Well, I was watching the news today
A hand-cuffed boy
Stood with nothing to say
His knife laid at the end of the hall
His landlady said she saw it all

Guilty for reasons of insanity
A menace, a threat to humanity
The kid liked playing
Army men before
Until they sent the kid on out to war

Cosmic armies were marching home
The war is over
They're marching home
Oh no, I know I
I'm not a junkie
Oh no, I know I
I know I can't take it any more
And drunken soldiers
Lay down their arms
Send them thousands
Of hard-luck charms
I'm not an addict
Oh no, I know I
I know I can't take it any more

They say absence
Makes the heart grow stronger
But since I've been back
I don't think so any longer
A drug-induced euphoric state
Alien intrusion
'cause we couldn't relate
Another bind another need
Life sustaining arterial feed
Another tale of another crime
'cause with a spike in your arm
It's just a matter of time
