Heaven-bound, my destiny
On blissful shores, I long to stay
Within nirvana's reign o'er me
I'm floating far above the fray
On blissful shores, I long to stay
So, in my veins, I welcome you
I'm floating far above the fray
Yet tangled by this devil's brew
So, in my veins, I welcome you
Within nirvana's reign o'er me
Yet tangled by this devil's brew
Heaven-bound, my destiny

Sadly, those who are addicted to heroin, think only of the next fix. Their only thoughts are to disappear from life's pains and equate the high to feeling like being in heaven. They know hell waits for them in just a few hours...
I had a close relative who was an addict. A very difficult thing to watch them deteriorate, yet still long for that "heavenly" feeling.
