Overdose
Where is the time you lost
How do you outrun yourself
Can you drink enough
Smoke it down to the filter
What is love when you've lost it again
Who are the demons
When you play with them at night
Why bother to hide the hate you feel
When the hate just feels like home
Can you hide inside yourself
Long enough to breath
Or will you choke
On your own dead air
Can you smile for your those awaiting
Make them believe even when you don't
You know the jig is up
The game is lost
Your goose is cooked
And death knocks at your door
