Tear the Ticket and Take the Trip

Tear the ticket and take the trip... Something good and golden starts losing its grip Sucking in smoke now your lungs start to lurch Shock to your soul still you stay on the search Undressing and unraveling...too real and too raw Flirting with fire fools get burned Fight for the fix...just another hit Tear the ticket and take the trip Roller coaster riding...valley lows and mountain highs Once soaring with eagles into the big blue sky Now scavenging with vultures...slowly you die More only multiplies and takes your heart and your head Stuck in a system of subtraction...now you're better off dead You used to live in Gods love You used to live in Gods light Now you're burned out like a bulb struggling to stay lit Tear the ticket and take the trip That thin ice cracks...walls you built are crumbling fast That train into tomorrow gets derailed off the tracks No turning back on this nightmare into nothingness. Turning the screws and twisting the seconds Slaves don't dream about freedom...they only want to be masters Doom and disaster...they surround you like a shell What started as Heaven soon became Hell You flipped the coin of consequence as it lands on its side Now you fall into forever...in Perditions pit Tear the ticket and take the trip
