Reo Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling

 

I can't take benzos any longer

And yet I can't cold turkey either though

What started as a medicine

Has been torture

I wish I had the strength to tell the world

 

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever

I said there is a reason for my fear

'Cause I feel insecure when I don't take you

Klonopin you are so cruel

You make life so very hard

 

And even as I wander

My next dose must be close

You're a challenge I must take up

You're a dragon I must slay

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

 

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

This withdrawal's got me writhing on the floor

It's time to take the next cut I must make

And throw away the pills, forever

 

'Cause I don't feel human anymore

I've forgotten what I started dosing for

And if I have to cry upon the floor

Pestle crushing through a pill

Benzo, I can't take your toxin anymore

 

My life has been such a whirlwind since I took you

Chemicals have compromised my brain

And it seems doctors won't believe the pain you inflict

'Cause you take me to side effects

That alone I'd never find

 

And even as I wander

My next dose must be close

You're a challenge I must take up

You're a dragon I must slay

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

 

And I can't fight this feeling anymore

This withdrawal's got me writhing on the floor

It's time to take the next cut I must make

And throw away the pills, forever

 

'Cause I don't feel human anymore

I've forgotten what I started dosing for

And if I have to cry upon the floor

Pestle crushing through a pill

Benzo, I can't take your toxin anymore

 

inspired by the original, this website, my struggle and W-BAD :

Total Eclipse of the Heart

By Bonnie Tyler

 

DOSING TME,  Every now and then I get a little bit anxious and relief is not coming by

DOSING TIME Every now and then I get a little bit scared of listening to the sound of

my tears

DOSING TiME Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the

years have gone by

DOSING TIME Every now and then I get a little bit terrified for no reason at all

DOSING TIME, BLURRY EYES, Every now and then I fall apart

DOSING TIME, RACING HEART Every now and then I fall apart

 

And I want you to leave tonight, but I need you more than ever and if you only let me

go I wouldn't be holding on forever

And I only be making it right 'cause we'll never be here together

Once upon a time I was getting relief, now I'm only falling apart

Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart

 

 

DOSING TIME Every now and then I know I'll shake like a leaf if I don't take one

DOSING TIME Every now and then I know I'll feel little better, over the course of a time

DOSING TIME Every now and then I know there's nothing in the universe as horrible as you

DOSING TIME Every now and then I know there's nothing any better, there's

nothing that I just want to do

DOSING TIME, BLURRY EYES Every now and then I fall apart

DOSING TIME, RACING HEART Every now and then I fall apart

 

And I want you to leave tonight, but I need you more than ever and if you only let me

go, I won't be holding on forever

 

Without you I can make it to the end of the line

But you grip is like a shadow on me all of the time.

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark.

I'm living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.

I really need some help tonight, forever's gonna start tonight, forever's gonna start tonight.

 

Once upon a time I was getting relief, now I'm only falling apart

Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart

 

Once upon a time there was light in my life now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart.

Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

Raised on Robbery

Joni Mitchell

 

 

He was sitting in the lounge

of the Empire Hotel

He was taking benzos

for diversion

they were thinking for himself

 

A little bit of money, riding on the FDA

Along comes a dealer in lacy sleeves

She says let me sit down, you know

using alone is a shame it's a shame, it's a crying shame.

Look at those jokers, looking for some more refills

I was raised on ben.en.zoes

 

Hey Honey, you've go lots of cash

bring us up a bottle

we'll have some laughs

Xanax what I'm taking

I was raised on be.en.zoes

 

I'm a pretty good user

sitting on my very large bottle

come up to my bathroom

And I'll show you my best ever stash

 

I try and  try, but I can't pay the rent

I'm up after midnight

splitting up my pills

I'm rough and not pleasing

because I take too many drugs

I have insomnia, I was raised on be.en.zoes

 

We had a little bit of money

They were pushing through a four-lane highway

Government gave us $3,000

You should have seen it fly away

First he went doctor shopping

and then he got caught

He swallowed all the rest, that son of a bitch

He's mean when he's loaded

I was raised on be.en.zoes.

 

You ain't bad looking

wishing for your dream

come up with me honey,

I ain't asking for a bunch of refills

 

Hey honey, don't go yet

The bottle ain't empty

and we just met

You're mean after detox

I was raised on ben.en.zoes

He swallowed all the rest, that son of a bitch

He's haunted these days

I was raised on be.en.zoes.

 

You ain't bad looking

wishing for your dream

come up with me honey,

I ain't asking for a bunch of refills

 

Hey honey, don't go yet

I LOVE this !

 

( just couldn't say so yesterday because it was a pretty hard day. )

 

Thank you so  :smitten: much benzogirl

Yes, good therapy. It was such fun to do this! Great thread. I hope others contribute to it. I watched that show twice and was shocked at how old Paul looked.

Me too ! Being shocked at how old he got and also agreeing that this was fun to do and hoping others try sometime.

 

I thought Joan Baez looked great. I loved when she sang with Mavis Staples ( " marching on to freedom land... " )

Yes, she looks good. I think it is because she wasn't a druggie all of her life. I love her Dixie song. Judy Collins looks good too, as she was on PBS as well.

Cutting time - azalea32  ( re-model of Closing time by Supersonic )

 

Cutting time

Go shut all the doors and let you back into your room

Cutting time

Pull all of the drapes closed before another migraine sets right in

Cutting time

One last call for washing now so try to at least brush your teeth

Cutting time

You don't have to turkey but you can't stay here

God please right now take me the f*** home

God please right now take me the f*** home

God please right now take me the f*** home

Take me home

Cutting time

Time to get the knife you bought at Walmart that lonely day

This knife won't be used for food again until your taper is fully through

So gather up your pill box, spill it that whole bottle

I hope you have found your strength

Cutting time

Every new prescription comes from some other prescription's end
