Lonely Screams

Lonely Screams

seen the promising throw away hopes and dreams 
witnessed parents loose children heard their lonely screams.
seen a friend give up and quit.
said im out suicide to much guilt and regret.
friends lost families destroyed.
once with income and success now unemployed.
this is what happens to the best in this game.
what ya see in the beginning will never again be the same. 
What ya see cannot be unseen.
ya dont leave this life squeeky clean.
morals and dignity go up in smoke
but die even quicker with every poke.
like goin 100 inna 50 with no brakes.
A mess of a tole on everyone around you it takes. 
if it dont kill ya you wish you were dead.
regret pain disappointment is what your fed.
loose everything people sick of watching you die. 
wont sit around to be a part of your lie. 
what once was a party and good clean fun.
was your future being murdered undone.
some of you sayin I don't know what I'm talking about and your straight.
keep testing the devil keep messing wit fate.
few escape this life and find there way.
live each night like its their last day.
get out if ya still got a shot
Because survivors in this life there ain’t really a lot.
