Rehab


I don't need your help
Get your hands off me
I won't call your health hotline
Just give me my rest
Everyone is in my face
What do you want me to say?
Go to a home
Where they'll take care of me
I'm not 5 years old
Just need my pills
Maybe a hug would be great
I hate who I've be come
Been drinking here lately
My mom and dad
Scared when will I come home
Just give me my time
I'll survive the sea
These parties hurt my head
No I don't want to sleep next to you!
Get your hands off of me!
So we've circled
Everything is the same
Just with different places
Maybe I need your pamphlet
Seems like a nice place
Don't see palms trees
But its better than a brick apartment building
Need to stay up long enough
To reach the phone on my table
But these pills are stronger than the package says
And my body is giving into sleep
I'm sorry mom and dad
I start to pray
Maybe for a better life if I make it through
Although there is no way to turn around
As my eyes close
This couch is colder than it was before
I think of my family
All that I'm leaving behind
If only I would of gone to rehab

Bobby.

Music is just poems from a young kid, but with a better background than beatboxing It's better to be hit with a truck than kissed with a lie
