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.
