Shade

So shes poppin' pills today
Shes tryin' to get away
From this sadness

It follows her
Turns her life into a blurr
Now shes done for

He drank a little much
Now his skin is cold to touch
He's OD'ing

Now hes gone away
His wife thinks shes to blame
Now shes next

He just took a line
It's not even past nine
Now hes geekin'

He took a little more
Now his brain is done for
He said goodbye

They've all got one thing in common
They're all bombin'
In this sadness

Try to live a day
In this cold unforgiving shade
Then you'll see
