From the depth of darkness 
Staggers out a man
Who's broken at his core
Using a strong scented liquid
To mask any emotion he feels

It at first was a band-aid

Then became merely an acquaintance

Eventually a best friend

He quit, because he was looking for a healthier way to cope

Something that wouldn't eventually kill him

He's become a different man, a better one 

Amazed my self and worshipped God while doing so
