On the Down Side

When reflections in the mirror clash And you walk through life on broken glass You hide behind the same sad song No future here tomorrow's gone Stability has slipped away No saving for a rainy day And the dreams you had were bought and sold For a broken mind and a tortured soul It's a constant grind it's a steady drip Disparity won't loosen its grip You search to find a means to an end Only to find in time it starts over again So you look for the potion for breaking the spell Pills and booze didn't take very well It's time to pick up the pieces and pull up the slack Start mending your soul get your life back on track ~Billy Hitz~
