Number 72

Don't make me make that decision right now I'm not prepared Besides I am leaving tonight to where, I do not know Anywhere is better than right here right now I'm on my knees again She must be tired of my sorrow and guilt and shame It pulls on me Calling my name time and again Everyone leaves this wreckage alone In the end My melancholy got the best of me and we only have right now Heroin take a bow You put on one hell of a show but now I must go Sometimes you must walk away From what you love or incinerate I ran away out of fear You followed and you met me there and I take that shot at death again but the reaper won't let me in so I must carry this cross another five-thousand days You take away the best of me and we only have right now Addiction take a bow It was a real good show Why is it I can't just go? I know I should walk away from what I love or disintegrate I know I should walk away but I love you and how you incinerate
