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
