Death Train

Untitled Your disease you wear like a badge you have earned Not caring who you knock down on every blind turn As you swallow your poison of choice to dull your pain You have driven the ones closest to you literally insane Playing Russian roulette with every drink you take Bullets made of pain killers or any other opiate they make You think you have everyone fooled and can keep it a secret As you hop on the death train holding your final destination ticket So as you take your ride on the pleasure train to a certain hell Don’t forget to wave good bye to the ones who will live to tell Of someone they use to know and now they have lost Knowing they were willing to save them at any cost. Your disease now wears you like a badge it has earned What was once sweet and innocent now has turned So before you even start with alcohol or drugs of any kind Just ask yourself is it worth dying for or losing your mind.
