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
