This is a sublime song. I know it's song lyrics, but it's poetry to me.

lying in my plastic bed, thinkin how things weren't so cool to me
my baby likes to shoot pool, i like lying naked in my bedroom
tyin' on the dinosaur tonight, used to be so cool
now i got the needle, and i can't shake
but i can't breathe, i take it away but i want more and more
one day i'm gonna lose the war...

are you talking of addiction? drugs maybe?
interesting read thou disturbing

addiction, drugs, same old same old....

"One day I'm gonna lose the war..."

What a lovely comparison... it just works...

You are right, lyrics are poetry, well in my opinion, and it makes a change every now and then, don't you think?
