Run Or Hide

Where do you run When you're scared of yourself? To the liquid in the pipe Or the pills on the shelf? To escape the life You once loved to live Anything to have that life back You would surely give suffocating in a big white cloud And dope that makes you forget But this you cannot escape And this life comes with a debt A debt not of money or goods Not a dime or a dollar sign But the love and devotion Now, it’s gone and you cannot find Your baby’s love Your trust for the system It just blew into the wind With one big gust Now drowning a in a puddle And sniffing a thin white line Was it really worth breaking All our hearts including mine? But I find myself In an awkward place I both pity and despise you This is not often the case I ask you now Why would you, how could you? that baby taken away That person I loved thought I knew And then I think How pitiful you are And how bad to you This will soon scar So I offer my help And my hand I freely give So make your choice Do you die, or do you live?
