Egypt Central - The Drug (Part 1) Lyrics






7 AM and I'm walking again
Back to bury myself in the snow
With a part of me gone and its hard to hold
To a person that I used to know
And it kills me inside I am buried alive
I am nothing but flesh over bone
But I can't think about I'm not going to change
I'm better off being alone
Better off being alone

The drug, the drug is what understands me
Silence stole the voices in my head
Drink myself to death on cocaine candy
Twenty one gun salute when they find me dead
When they find me dead

In the back of the house with a gun in my mouth
And a mirror in front of my face
I have looked for a reason just one simple reason
For why I am worth being saved
But I'll never get out so I put the gun down
It's a slow suicide that I choose
So I give in again I sit down and breath in
I don't care about what I will lose
What I will lose

The drug, the drug is what understands me
Silence stole the voices in my head
Drink myself to death on cocaine candy
Twenty one gun salute when they find me dead
When they find me dead

I feel like this will never end
The curse under my skin
More than air I breathe
You must believe I need the drug
I'm always on the run
From the addict I've become
More than air I breathe
You must believe I need the drug

I need the drug
You must believe I need the drug
I need the drug
You must believe I need the drug

The drug, the drug is what understands me
Silence stole the voices in my head
Drink myself to death on cocaine candy
Twenty one gun salute when they find me dead

  8. F.... 2....

    New Palestine Indiana

  9. M.... D....

  15. K.... F....

    DIS SONG DOHHHHH C;

  16. E.... B....

    First of all this guy does not deserve a 21 gun salute if he killed himself....suicidal murder men

    E.... B....

    Well thanks, now I can't get the image out of my head of some really depressed kid trying to drink themselves to death using Coca-cola.... XD

    E.... B....

    @micheal hoffstater #1, you are a necro, #2, i never thought of that

    E.... B....

    @erik green What about that joke makes me a necrophiliac again? XD

    E.... B....

    @micheal hoffstater Actually they put coca leaves in Coca-Cola. Cocaine is refined from coca leaves but by themselves they aren't dangerous. In fact people who live in the Andes and Peru regularly drink a tea brewed from coca leaves.

    E.... B....

    well if you look at it , you know after war veterans go through ptsd and alls they have to understand them is the drug

  17. A.... L....

     the drug is my favorite song by these guys

    A.... L....

    ওওক্সক্স

    A.... L....

    same here

    A.... L....

    Same dude

  18. T.... ....

    You can respect something without enjoying it. Here endith the lesson.

    T.... ....

    I feel disrespectful if i don't finish this song after starting it 

  19. M.... ....

    Oh, my god, not another supremacist. Why are so many people convinced that you have to listen to all types of music in order to enjoy it. I like rock music, I'm a rock guy. That's it, I don't CARE about rap or country or pop. If you like them, great. If liking all of them enhances your experience, even better. But we don't have to do it that way, so shut the fuck up and get out.

  20. H.... ....

    I must admit after random clicks around Youtube and finding some "Dubstep/Techno for Gamers" I myself have become rather addicted to the genre, but still a Rock and Metal lover at heart :)

  21. S.... ....

    Awesome band so much truth behind there songs especially this one

  22. S.... ....

    Listening to Egypt Central while making a Video Game. Epic Thoughts for RPG's >.> lol

    S.... ....

    DUDE samee

  23. N.... ....

    you kidding me? Techno + Shadow Priest dpsing = Heaven.

  24. A.... ....

    As an RPG Gamer myself, nothing quite like level-grinding to techno and Dubstep. But again: to each their own. :)

  25. M.... M....

    Because it's already here

  26. M.... M....

    thats EXACTLY how I feel :/

  27. C.... P....

    It's called having an opinion, you fuckstick.

  28. M.... Q....

    hmmm doing a line to this song.... shame :( I feel this song... "but you must believe I need the drug...the drug, the drug its what understands me.... Silenced are the voices in my head.

  29. M.... Q....

    not mainstream, but could be i see what u mean.

  30. F.... C....

    Saludos desde Perù
    I feel like this will never end
    The curse will never end
    More than air I need
    You must believe I need the drug
    I'm always on the run
    From the addict I've become
    More than air I breathe
    You must believe I need the drug

  31. D.... A....

    'Tis not exclusively about that, in fact. They did a documentary about it, some time ago. I wish I could find it for you.

  32. p.... ....

    +1000000.

  33. D.... ....

    Cradle of Filth.... they're terrible, why disgrace metal with that name? TT

  34. b.... ....

    Hipsters

  35. G.... ....

  36. o.... ....

    Someone i can relate to

  37. H.... ....

  38. M.... E....

    The Drug... my antidrug

  39. A.... ....

    Lyrics are wrong in the first verse
    hard to hold on
    I am barely alive

  40. s.... m....

    seen these guys 2x great band there going places.

  41. Y.... ....

    I am SOO not better off being alone. I NEED THIS BAND AND ITS AWESOME MUSIC!!!!!!!!

  42. a.... ....

    This song and 'Enemy Inside' are a little too close for comfort...I love this song though, and this band, first heard them on one of Nikki Sixx's radio shows. Love at first...listen? Whatever love<3<3

  43. T.... ....

    GAY!! THIS IS FKing GAY


    good now that I have your attention, I'd like to say thank you! ;p most of my phone/PC is full of Jimi Hendrix, ACDC, Chiodes, Heavenly, AV7X, Swedish House MAfia...and I'll admit.a little bit of American Rejects. I've been CRAVING some new rock tunes that weren't screaming my ears out or included randomly timed drum solos..this DID IT!! Thank you DUDE! (OR CHICK) I seriously never even heard of this band! Their now my new favs! and i shall blast them in LA traffic! >8p

  44. M.... S....

    @Haydoz1234 True story bro

  45. H.... ....

    @LynxKitteh I don't classify myself as a "Music Lover", i just like various types of music except this new age stuff, plus im mostly a RPG gamer so listening to Techno, Rap and that doesn't quite fit the type of music for that game genre.

  46. L.... ....

    @Haydoz1234 You will never understand what it means to be a music lover. Addicting yourself to one style is more than pathetic.

  47. P.... H....

    Just heard this one for the first time the other day, and I can't stop listening.....being a former alcoholic and addict, this is one of those songs that hits just a little too close to home, lol. Great tune, as is Part Two.

  48. s.... ....

    mainstream just means that everyone listens to them and that everyone knows who they are (or pretty much everyone) Pretty much no one in my school (3000 kids) knows of Egypt Central, save for me and a few friends. I love Egypt Central^^^ This is my favorite song!!! ^_^

  49. a.... ....

    @kope2kope Hey, Why did the hipster burn his mouth? Because he drank his coffee before it was cool!!

  50. H.... ....

    @Teeazx sorry for the late reply haha, yea i wrote it up the top "Rock" but forgot to put it in the second time..but thanks for the clarification =D

  51. G.... a....

    This Band is AMAZING!!!!

  52. S.... ....

    @SuperTheinFAMOUSone Part two is Enemy Inside. ;)

  53. F.... ....

    funny he sounds just like craig mabbit haha.

  54. e.... ....

    I love how I can look at one of these vids, and see only 2 dislikes...
    ...But I go to some mainstream shit and see thousands.
    Fuck yeah. \../(^_^)

  55. n.... ....

    @Unknnnnn agreed w u so far 100% :D

  56. S.... D....

    WHERE'S PART 2?!?!?!??!

  57. U.... ....

    @mystiangel96 I wouldn't give a fuck... Someone who kills themselves because a random hater online told them to do so - is a fucking idiot not worth caring about,.

  58. J.... D....

    he says, and I quote, "I think," as in he was telling what he thinks the meaning is. he's not really ruining it for everyone. Just chill out dude, no reason to get this worked up over nothing.

  59. U.... ....

    @metalwolf515 he wasn't telling a meaning of the song... he was ruining it... Nobody gives a FUCK about his bullshit meaning. People tend to find their own meanings.

    I think I should be the one to kill myself with all these pussies around that annoy me for making "pretty bold statements". Welcome to the internets, bitch! ;D

    U.... ....

    New Palestine Indiana please look this up ;)

  60. J.... D....

    @Unknnnnn Dude woah! Don't get pissy cause some guy wants to tell the meaning of the song. Telling him to kill himself is a pretty bold statement.
    BTW he said drugs are bad, that means he's not a junkie.

  61. T.... ....

    @rickyraccoon3 ricky wait for the asylum i think you missunderstand the word mainstrem xD

  62. g.... ....

    @SuicidalImpulse sorry if you got my comment as a reply, I put it in the wrong place, even if it was about what you were talking about.

  63. U.... ....

    @Bloodtoxx xD

  64. B.... ....

    @Unknnnnn Shut the fuck up. It's called free speech. If you don't like it, go on facebook and complain.

  65. D.... B....

    2011 Fat Lady Music. LLC. was i the only one that noticed it? XD great band tbh!

  66. C.... G....

    what is mainstream?

  67. J.... C....

    @SuicidalImpulse saying they're mainstream would be an OVERstatement

  68. s.... ....

    i think this story tells us abt a guy who's addicted to drugs to put him out of his misery. this song has a lesson here abt wat drugs can do to u, give u fake happiness but there's a catch to getting happiness that is death. best song ever. one of my favorites. wish this band could be more famous. real music has been hidden.it's better than the crap nowadays.................

  69. M.... ....

    more bands like this one? I really LOVE this style of music!!

  70. J.... M....

    I hope this band stays like it is now, if this band becomes mainstream I'm afraid that their style of music would change and videos like this would get attacked by people trolling good music. Don't get me wrong, I love bands like TDG, Breaking Ben and Papa Roach, etc. but I feel like this band is my little secret from all of the mainstream fans. :) Rock on Egypt Central.

  71. R.... C....

    Yay no dislikes :D

  72. F.... ....

    your lyrics are off a bit

  73. c.... ....

    @xXDethMeisterXx oh cool

  74. c.... ....

    if this is part one where's part 2? (sorry i'm new to the band -_-'')

  75. M.... ....

    @JarrodTheAwesome touche my friend touche lolz

  76. k.... ....

    Egypt Central is mainstream in terms of being generic, but they have enough twist and spice to be very lovable, which is why I like them.

  77. h.... ....

    hmm not bad at all

  78. B.... L....

    @poopface9676 its the shit that everyone seems to think is good music, all the stuff that gets radio play, justin bieber, lady gaga, katy perry, all those types, in other words mainstream blows :P

  79. B.... L....

    @Dracky cause mainstream blows haha

  80. S.... G....

    over 16000 views and not a single dislike. that is awesome.

  81. M.... ....

    1:04 omg that was effin awesome

  82. j.... ....

    sounds like the story to max payne....lol

  83. H.... ....

    @TheSnak369 ah, that does suck. my fav's are The Drug, Surrender and White Rabbit

  84. A.... ....

    I think people don't know what mainstream or hip hop is ;-;

    but this is pretty epic song ;-p

  85. O.... M....

    @Haydoz1234 well thats too bad for me because im the only one in my town that listens to good music like this. plus this is the best song on the album in my opinion, also enemy inside and white rabbit!!

  86. H.... ....

    19 years of listening to Heavy Metal, Rock and all the other awesome heavy music, and i just discover this awesomely sick band??, my life is now completed xD!!. not a single bad song so far. Oh, and thank fuck for metal, otherwise this world would be a catastrophe listening to all that shit hip hop + rap shit.

  87. m.... ....

    "21 Gun Salute When they find me dead". Hell Yeah! This song kicks ass.

  88. B.... L....

    @gooutofmyshow just sayin

  89. B.... ....

    Instead of "Silence stole", "silenced all" sounds more correct and makes more sense.

  90. B.... L....

    some of your lyrics are wrong

  91. D.... ....

    @llamahamfat Enemy Inside is part 2

  92. G.... ....

    love this song......its perfect <3 <3 <3

  93. D.... K....

    o.o love at first hearing

  94. V.... P....

    @dpwild1 they play on 99.9 the buzz. they are mainstream but there good.

  95. D.... W....

    How is this mainstream? I can guarantee nobody I know will have heard of this band, despite how awesome they are.

  96. A.... B....

    @TheTornWolf i DESPISE pop and mainstream rap music. i dont like evanescence or three days grace at all, and i dont like anything linkin park put out after their second album, but i actually happen to like disturbed

  97. w.... ....

    the lyrics are wrong in more than one spot, if you do it do it right

  98. D.... ....

    @rickyraccoon3 no where near mainstream. i dont hear them at all in KC area. the definition of mainstream is being heard everywhere, not in certain locations. you are just mentally slow
