Ballad of a Junkie

You wake up in the morning, and look out at the sky so blue
Look out over the horizon; you wonder what the world holds for you
The falling sounds of summer, stopped only by the dew

Get out of bed and head downstairs, there's food calling your name
The sun is high up in the sky but it shines up there in vain
The light is bright but it's alright, it's the beginning of the game

Get up to leave walk to yer car, wondering if he'll come through
A test today, then one more class, then getting high this afternoon
Your car starts, you drive away, and anxiety takes over you

You don't know why but then you feel a chill fall down your spine
A bad feeling you've never known, so will you change your mind
You convince yourself that getting high will cure your bloodshot eyes

You get to school, walking to class and your hands begin to shake
The test in your hands, drugs on your mind, this bad decision you make
You get up to leave, only knowing this is a huge mistake

You know this is a bad choice, but this is one you feel you must create
Back down the hall, out the door, and to your car you race
Turn on the car, throw it into gear, now for the drugs you'll chase

Half way there, so start to itch, withdraws are coming through
The only thought that's on your mind is how much your gonna do
A bit of coke, a bit of smack, or maybe just a toke or two

Fast forward to the future, you have nothing left to live for
No family, no friends, only sitting high on the floor
You've got nothing left to live for, this is the end for sure
