Chasing the Dragon

I've been hooked since the first hit I ever took
 They warned me not to go inside but I had to take a look
 I stepped down into a smokey room
 I'm getting stared at hard so I kept on stepping
 Right up to the line just to wait my turn
 I started to sweat and my eyes were burning
 When I felt him through the smoke just out of sight
 He said, "Son are you ready for the rest of your life?"
 I said, " Gimme gimme please gimme please Mr. Pusher Man
 I don't think you know what it means to me
 I gotta gotta have it. Do you understand?
 I gotta know how it feels when your mind is free."
 Now I know how it feels to fly
 My eyes are wide open and my soul's on fire
 All those years I was living a lie
 But last night Hardcore saved my life
 There's nothing I can do and there's nothing I can say
 I'll be chasing the dragon till the fire goes away
 It's the truth in the anger and the feeling in the sound
 For the rest of my time on earth I'll chase that dragon down
 Now I'm grown and I can't past it
 The way I get chills when the music's blasting
 I never found nothing that could move me like this
 With a fist in the air I must resist
 Young and old, boys and girls
 In every color around the world
 We gather together every couple days
 To honor the ones that paved the way
 Oh no I can't stop
 I got marks on my skin and I'm ready to go
 It's in my veins and it's in my soul
 I love Hardcore Punk Rock'n'Roll
 Now I know how it feels to fly
 My eyes are wide open and my soul's on fire
 All those years I was living a lie
 But last night Hardcore saved my life
 There's nothing I can do and there's nothing I can say
 I'll be chasing the dragon till the fire goes away
 It's the truth in the anger and the feeling in the sound
 For the rest of my time on earth I'll chase that dragon down
 It's like my soul's on fire
 For the rest of my time on earth I'll chase that dragon down
