Will Power


We say fuck the system But the system is fucking us Taking our lives away With nothing but disgust
Getting knocked up and locked up There is no one to trust Getting big bucks only distrust With nothing but lust
He said take the pill It will kill the pain And with that my life went down the drain
Loosing touch i must trust That i am not a bust Far out with no doubt I cannot easily reconstruct
Far from the old me, empty and blue I take the pills, to have a good time with u Disconnected and spacey i must admit With this feeling that my gut will split
When my veins run dry I cannot help but complain For the pain is unbearable Its a miracle i am sane
Climbing out the deepest of depths Is not an easy journey, honey Please dont be mad at my mistakes For i am drowning in the deepest of lakes
Asking for help is an odd option When i have to admit that i have a problem For me or for you this drug is compulsive Infused with the angels, and demons It cannot be trusted
So for this i have to say approach with caution For it holds onto you until your in the coffin And far too often a mother weeps For the son she remembers Week after week
Getting your life back is not an easy task For at last you cannot go back On track doing fine till the time has come You relapsed again, with one dose Your in the ground There was no hope For all you felt was the dope
