One More

Empty heart with a filled head one more pill I
Will end up dead pills and bottles are used to heal
Pain
    Go around family and they will know I changed a
Lifeless me is hard to explain when I grew up filled 
With laughs and joy as I got older my life did a 160 
Change and my light got blocked by flames 

Long held friendships changed and bills were due
So I popped a pill or two and sipped on some liquor 
To quite my worry my life got out of view as you talked 
To me I was so high I couldn’t see you and I knew what
I had to do so I put down the pills and bottles and started 
A new tomorrow
