I've spent some time in a terrible place,
Up close and personal, right there in your face.
At first we were friends, close buddies and such,
We soon grew apart, I don't like him that much.
It doesn't take long for him to invite you in,
He'll give you a seat and call you his friend.
Introduce you to something you don't know is bad,
And trust me it's like nothing you've ever had.
At first he's generous with amounts meant to hook you,
But what you don't realize is that he just took you.
For your hard earned dollar that you had in your purse
and all you end up with is a horrible curse.
You end up changing in the most obvious ways,
You don't eat, sleep or think for a matter of days.
You end up so pale and weak like you're sick,
You can't make it stop your brain is now tricked.
Your personal hygiene is all shot to hell,
You start to get scared but there's no one to tell.
You think you can handle this mess you've created,
Your family is gone for too long they've waited.
Once something happens that makes you stop and reflect,
another loved one's in line to be the next to infect.
You can't save them if they don't want the help
Just put the shit in, light the flame watch it melt.
"Since you can't beat 'em join 'em, You know they'll be up all night.
Please come join the party, hey pass me a light!
Can you get a hook up? Give me the phone.
I wanna get spun and get stuck in the zone!"
It's so fun to watch the bowl go up in smoke.
It's not really funny, my life's now a joke.
I've seen so much shit that you never thought true
I'd take it all back now if only I knew.
So now I must go and end this true story
And try to be good and someday find glory
I won't stop till it's over, someone will prevail
Please dear God, I beg you, Don't let me fail...
