Methamphetamine (USAN) ( /ˌmɛθæmˈfɛtəmiːn/), also known as methamfetamine (INN),meth, N-methylamphetamine, methylamphetamine, and desoxyephedrine, is a psychostimulant of the phenethylamine and amphetamine class of psychoactive drugs.
Methamphetamine increases alertness, concentration, energy, and in high doses, can induce euphoria, enhance self-esteem and increase libido. Methamphetamine has high potential for abuse and addiction, activating the psychological reward system by triggering a cascading release of dopamine in the brain. Methamphetamine is FDA approved for the treatment of ADHD and exogenous obesity. It is dispensed in the USA under the trademark name Desoxyn and manufactured by Ovation Pharmaceuticals which was purchased in 2009 by Danish pharmaceutical Lundbeck.
As a result of methamphetamine-induced neurotoxicity to dopaminergic neurons, chronic abuse may also lead to post-withdrawal syndrome which persist beyond the withdrawal period for months, and even up to a year. A study performed on female Japanese prison inmates suffering from methamphetamine addiction showed 20% experienced a psychosis resembling schizophrenia which persisted for longer than six months post-methamphetamine use; this amphetamine psychosis can be resistant to traditional treatment. In addition to psychological harm, physical harm – primarily consisting of cardiovascular damage – may occur with chronic use or acute overdose.

Genres: Horror, Sci-Fi, Short, Thriller,Got plenty of friends i'd like you to meet
in my life and my world and its all at my feet
got a box of good records from the back of the rack
im driving 90 miles an hour in a fucking speed trap
got a grin on my face and i know when to react
got a bag in my hand and the world at my back
try to feed the disease its not as easy as it seems
been awake for 3 days coming apart at the seams
[Chorus:]
ohh im a zombie
been awake for 3 days
ill sleep enough when im dead
in the meantime im stayin awake
wanna scream wanna play with my girlfriend all day
make a mess get undressed and FUCK it all away
fried hair fried brain bitch and complain
im driving 90 miles an hour in the passing lane
im on bottom on top im inside and im bent
changing faces in the phone booth
like i was clark kent
its alright its ok ive been awake for 3 days
doing fine but my mind is slipping away
[Chorus]
everything falls apart read the signs on the wall
peice of mind will decay
deconstruction all be dead feel no pain
intoxicate numb the mind inebriate
pull the plug! [2x]
my eyes wide open wanna pull the plug [4x]
Feel no spirit
should i forfeit
