Through Hell and Back For Rio
I’ve taken the lowest road most of my life
Mixed my madness in a spoon and I took the ride
Hit rock bottom head first then I began to climb
Fighting demons for progress, while still losing my mind
I’ve blistered my senses and I’ve shattered my soul
Found strength in darkness to regain my own control
Slowly gained the things my addiction came and stole
My depression and obsession took the largest toll
I’ve damaged people’s lives with my lies along the way
Broken trust with a lust for drugs used everyday
I became the sick insane character I portrayed
No one came to help contain the chaos I had made
I’ve made peace with my disease, standing up to fight
Rios face and precious ways draw me towards the light
If I fail and fall, then to her I will remind
Each memory of you and me is what kept me alive
I walk through hell for you, my angel.
It’s worth every single step.
I Love You.
D.R.L.
