One day you'll wake up

And life will have no meaning

Except that feeling in your veins



Another blast another line

You'd hardly do it

Your lungs are craving

That cocaine



Well, all your friends

Will sit and watch you do it

And when it's time they'll do the same



You taste the smoke

It's the evil that's inside you

You know the winner of the game



Oh no, can't you feel the pain?

Can you feel the misery?



Well, time goes on

And you feel your body slipping

There's no control, you're a slave



You breathe in deep

And be sure your hearts still pumping

You ain't ready for the grave



One more time

And you promise the you will quit

But today's just not the day



Everyday you give that

Same old sermon

Still you crack your life away



Today they found you

In your room, your eyes were empty

A stem of a glass clutched in your hand



Your heart had stopped

And your life had left you
