Killing Old Habits Before They Kill You

Change is an important part Of making a brand new start When you are trying to save Yourself from an early grave Because of all the abuse Your body is going through Pill popping is a routine Drug filled needles so obscene Leaving puncture holes and marks Turning your world deep and dark Alcohols another drug Your stomach will always chug Mild, hard, really extreme Making you black out and dream Of the next round you'll consume Leading to more pain and gloom Cuts across your legs and arms Exploding like an open bomb Bleeding out to release Every hope and every piece Of dignity you once displayed Now it's gone with each new blade Stopping will be very hard But it's like a house of cards Each step handled carefully One at a time and you will see Building yourself proud and tall And not letting yourself fall Back into habits that destroy Making your temple full of joy
