Death of An Addict
I cried a river of tears
and got washed away by the flood.
I fought to save myself,
I even paid the price in blood.
But here I sit in an empty room -
I'm praying someone will come round soon,
'cause I'm losing myself in this haze -
I don't think daylight will touch my face.
The world's gone grey
I'm fading fast,
Pictures flash by -
All my past
I wanna cry
But I can't see
Someone, Anyone
Please help me
My legs won't work
And I can't stand
Mom, I need you
Please hold my hand
I'm so cold,
Don't wanna die
I've spent my whole life
living a lie
Now sudden quiet,
Nothing here
Lost in a void
Alone with fear
Then I feel tears
like gentle rain
And someone softly
sobs my name....
Goodbye...
