This song was written as a reaction to the often hurtful and dehumanising languages used within the straight edge culture about people who suffer from drug addiction. I work with young people who suffer from addiction and substance abuse regularly, this is my best attempts in trying to empathise with the struggle.

lyrics

Substances takes hold of countless lives
You sit and judge, hissing words of spite
Who are you to judge another's hell?
The ones hollowing out becoming an empty shell
We will never know the pain of their choices made
Why do you recoil? You are afraid
What emptiness drove them into the isolating cold?
Looking deep into the void, the void takes hold
A hunger in their veins that needs to feed
Desperate humanity, seen as disease
You can’t understand, too tied to your pride
Sitting in your fortress only wanting to hide
See through their eyes
Emptiness in the cold
The void takes hold
A hunger in their veins, needing to feed
Desperate, seen as disease
Why can’t you acknowledge human weakness, our frailty?
Addicted to your arrogance, you can’t even see
We fail if we don’t help our fellow man
The hatred you hold, I will never understand
