Has he lost the plot again

Oh god, has he lost the plot again? 
Look at his eyes, he can’t disguise it’s all on top of him 
what kind of person can down vodka at the dinner table
once could’ve earned six figures well now he’ll never be able 
every time I see him he’s got some new haircut 
he barely says a word and he spends his days half cut 
why did he post pictures looking such a state
I guess no one’s gonna see them has he got a single mate? 

Oh god, I think he’s gone mad again 
did he just spark a *** and smoke it to its end? 
Such a bright promise he’s wasted it all  
what a steady rise, what a sudden, tragic fall 
he clearly isn’t on meds not like the doctor had said 
his future what a real dread he may as well just stay in bed 

Oh god, he’s absolutely lost it
had it all there in his hands but now he’s gone and dropped it 
someone should step in and shake it out of him 
all those years of hard work and now he’s thrown it in the bin 
with him you never know what’s coming 
open up his mouth and he’ll soon send you running 
what a disgrace, he’s ended up such a state 
but I have no sympathy he’s sealed his own fate 

Oh god, has he lost the plot again?
Look at his size, his glassy eyes 
he needs it all to stop again
is he low or is he high 
could he even tell you why
he gave up on it all 
thought he was a fighter but he can’t recover from this fall 
it’s all on top of him and this time he really knows it 
just one look at that tired face and every bag really shows it
with everything he’s lost what is he going to do? Type of person that you see and you’re glad it’s not you
