Pills-Till Death Do You Part

It all started off innocent enough To take a slight edge off the pain Some days seem worse than others So you take a few more I'm afraid Before too long the battle is gone You don't dare go back to the doctor So you take to the streets to meet demanding needs With no option of over the counter As all addictions do they stop working for you And eventually bite like an ungrateful dog The only reason you know is your friends tell you so In your shipwreck of a drug laden fog You try and think back on the life you once had Before you first swallowed this hell But with a mind that's not clear to point you anywhere Your past is too far back to tell You pray for normalcy but never down on your knees Afraid that you might get your wish Not sure you could let go the only comfort you know In this cruel world of hit and miss Still if you could go back you'd jump at the chance To not have given your soul away In the form of a pill that doesn't care what it steals Leaving behind death in its wake Today's pill epidemic is horrifying.
