Listen, I've had enough of your lies. You're nodding off in public.
Pupils often little pinholes, pupils permanently sunken.
Wishing that I could be there just to soften up the punches
from the path you chose to take. You’re not the person I grew up with.
and I swear to god if I was there the first day you made that decision,
I woulda been the one to knock you the fuck up outta that hell you lived in.
What a pity you had to give in to the poison in your system. It’s a prison.
I'd break you out if I could and make every single sin forgiven,
not religiously but turn back the clock and reverse the process.
I would rewrite history if I could have my friend back and that's a promise,
but you're gone. Never coming back and it feels so wrong.
I want you to see the pictures I paint but you couldn't even see where the line was drawn.
Listen, I've had enough of your lies. You're nodding off in public.
Pupils often little pinholes, pupils permanently sunken.
Wishing that I could be there just to soften up the punches
from the path you chose to take. You’re not the person I grew up with.
You were supposed to guide me, but how can you do that living life blindly?
I hope your psyche's fine but coming back in my life is highly unlikely.
I'm so sorry. I will not be a part of the pity party.
Something sucked the stars up out of the hole of a soul that used to be hearty.
You taught me how to unwind, decompress the stress and have a good time,
and now I'm supposed to be fine with watching you die right in front of my eyes?
No thank you. I don't take too kindly to people that cant be grateful.
I have my own set of issues to deal with and gotta make sure I'm stable,
but I'm not, because I've lost too many friends to drugs and bad thoughts.
I never forgot the day I found you unconscious in that empty lot.
If I'm not mistaken it was around the same time we decided to call up your father and mother.
There's no worse feeling than telling a parent "your son's in the gutter. He didn't recover."
It didn't do any good harassing you,
so we did what we had to do.
This is a matter of life and death, not just another habit that's bad for you.
