Playing In the Mud

One day a friend asked me to play 
He said don't worry it would be safe 
Not being sure about wanting to stay 
Towards the mud I made my way 
Jumping to diving then just sitting back
Of all the timing I fastly lost track 
I tried to get out 
But I didn't know how 
The mud was too slippery 
Kept pulling me down 
I'm still in the mud playing no more 
Nobody cared I was being ignored 
I should have listened to what I was told 
Don't play in the mud or your life will turn cold
This mud was addicting 
I did not realize 
Before I used heroine
I should have thought twice
