Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is charged with improving the quality and availability of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitative services in order to reduce illness, death, disability, and cost to society resulting from substance abuse and mental illnesses. The Administrator of SAMHSA reports directly to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SAMHSA's headquarters building is located in Rockville, Maryland.

Faithless And Godless
by: SamyazaTry to turn back but I hear it screaming.
So damn sick of old forgive and forget.
Have to remember it wasn't always like this.
Until you threw the stones at my head.
Hear the sound of the glass breaking.
Revolution spinning in my time of sin.
You try to save me.
Just fucking give it up.
Faithless and Godless.
Coursing in my blood.
You say this bottle is my destruction.
I'm dead to you for what I've become.
Repent and conform is what you're preaching.
Rather die then live another day chasing religion.
Faithless and Godless on my road to perdition.
