Eye of the Beholder

If i may ask why do you get high You choose to look at the world through red glossy eyes You use your substance to block out what is real To ease all the pain and discomfort that you feel Why can't you just accept things for the way they are Can you not see that your life is falling apart you say you control the substance but deep down it controls you It plays a major role in everything that you do Step back and take a look at what you've become You put yourself in a pit just to have a little fun Look at all the time,trouble,and energy at which you gave You've traded your independence for a lead role as a slave Well let me ask you why do you stay stay sober Tell me whats so bad about being a stoner You accept and belive everything society say's And choose not to research things for yourself Do you think you can gain all uderstanding and knowladge By reading some books and going to collage Why must you judge those who make diffrent decsions You really think You can help me through rehabs and prisons We can both sit here and debate all we'll do is get older The truth lies behind the eye of the beholder
