Warning to the Dead-Man Walking
Wishing and praying I was dead
There are strobe lights in my head
Every night they party there
Lying there unable to sleep
I close my eyes and hope for relief
I ask them to stop but they insist to party on
They roll on xo's by now it's nearly dawn
Alarm goes off, throat is dry
I've prepared myself that they will die
I take 2 hits the music softens
I'm glad I do not do this often
I must kill some brain cells
To help me forget they'll burn in hell
I tried to warn you but you didn't listen
You dug your grave it's not my fault
Becoming weaker with every drug you bought
You thought it was cool to be a user
But now that you're gone and I'm still here…
Who's the real loser?
An innocent soul corrupted I feel because of me
Used to think you were blind, but you can see
You sold your soul to become something you're not
Throwing your life away for a few ounces of pot
Used to try to help you and always be there
But now I watch from the side and can only stare
You had a chance but you turned your nose
I watch ineffectively as your pulse begins to slow
What was left of you as a person died
Somewhere in Heaven and angel has cried
You were never meant to be a sappy pushover
Because what you knew as life is over...
