They open your mouth and push addiction inside, swallowing a hunger that grows to voice, a scream that demands it be satisfied, trading silence only for a life.
Like building a cairn stone by stone, they bury an entire generation pill by pill.
Burying a pain that once filled every void within you, they watch you lower yourself into the grave.
And no one speaks of it, as they reach their hands in our homes and cover the mouths of our loved ones, like silent murder.
Stone by stone, pill by pill, they're burying an entire generation through murder.
