This is a song i wrote a while ago. It`s a song about the effect drugs can have when you realise what they are doing.
me, myself, I.
I am a Solo Musician, and i just like to muck about with music, i do this for enjoyment. Its a bit of fun. my voice is not great, and my playing is not that great either,(even though i teach guitar) But what the hell, i enjoy it.
Story behind the song
I wrote this song When i realised what 25 years of drug abuse had done to me. I was going through withdrawal from amphtemines, i was a little messed. But it reminds me of what i went through when i stopped, and it reminds me that drugs ain`t worth it in the long run(just in case i am tempted).

IS THIS REALLY ME By Ricky B
4/4
|Em |D Em|Em |
Em
A shadow lays across my soul,
D Em
Through it i cannot see,
Em
Confusion within my head,
D Em
A darkness lives with me,
D Em
Ghosts from the past still haunting,
D Em
Voices from the past still taunting,
A G D
A sadness in my heart still wanting,
Eb D
To break free.......
A paranoia creeps within,
Can i trust my friends,
Are they really laughing at me,
When i want so much to cry,
Delusions stealing my emotions,
Imagined friends to turn against you,
Voices talking in my head,
Telling me lies.....
CHORUS
Em Bm
The drugs i use to hide behind,
Em
Are eating at my soul,
D Em
How can i live my life in this euphric hell,
A
I`m a stranger to myself,
G
Don`t give a damn about my health,
D
Another hit is all i need, 1st Time 2nd Time & 3rd Time
[Em(6/8)|D |Em |G ]|[|Em |Em D|Em |]
Is this really me....
6/8
G A
All this hate and bitterness,
G A
I need to escape,
G A
All this hate and bitterness,
G D(4/4)
It`s killing me..........
CHORUS.
4/4
|Em |D Em|
Em
My life`s a living lie,
D Em
A facade is all you see,
Em
Now i must face the truth,
D Em
And find a light to lead,
D Em
When i wake up in the morning,
D Em
With a smile i`ll suffer torment,
A G
With a lie i`ll say i`m alright,
D Eb D
Wish i could fly away.
CHORUS..
