Falling
Climb, climb
Way up high
Past the treetops into the sky
Man you better pass that fifth
I wanna take another hit
I've got my wings and I wanna fly
Sail me down the river
Dock my ship around the bend
A little place called the devil's den
I'm gonna stay here a little bit
Get myself a little lit
Find something that'll take away shivers
Sipping booze, I'll slip away
Binge and purge all the day
Slide into this broken bed
By the morning I'll be dead
There's no way to save me
Way up high
Past the treetops into the sky
Man you better pass that fifth
I wanna take another hit
I've got my wings and I wanna fly
Sail me down the river
Dock my ship around the bend
A little place called the devil's den
I'm gonna stay here a little bit
Get myself a little lit
Find something that'll take away shivers
Sipping booze, I'll slip away
Binge and purge all the day
Slide into this broken bed
By the morning I'll be dead
There's no way to save me

Trip
Spend the day wasting time
Searching for the missing line
STP still going strong
Feel their strength in every song
Take a sip to spark the mind
Take some pills, all different kinds
Where am I going, where have I been
Lost lots of time with all my friends
Idle hands do devil's work
Play with matches, you'll get burnt
Trip today, trip tonight
Really tired of trying to fight
Trip tomorrow and the next
Lost my shoes and lost my head
Gets me through another day
Sick and tired, just waste away
Searching for the missing line
STP still going strong
Feel their strength in every song
Take a sip to spark the mind
Take some pills, all different kinds
Where am I going, where have I been
Lost lots of time with all my friends
Idle hands do devil's work
Play with matches, you'll get burnt
Trip today, trip tonight
Really tired of trying to fight
Trip tomorrow and the next
Lost my shoes and lost my head
Gets me through another day
Sick and tired, just waste away

SPIRITUAL POEM

Antidote
The battle rages inside me
A tug of war
Back and forth for my soul
The righteous path is clearly
Laid out before me
Yet is deceptively
Hard to follow
A life saving antidote
Impossible to swallow
Lord, even though I may stray
Help me keep my eyes on the path
And in my heart please stay
A tug of war
Back and forth for my soul
The righteous path is clearly
Laid out before me
Yet is deceptively
Hard to follow
A life saving antidote
Impossible to swallow
Lord, even though I may stray
Help me keep my eyes on the path
And in my heart please stay

Freedom
Where can freedom be found?
In a bottle?
In a pill?
In unflinching religious zeal?
Where hidden faces
In the name of their god, kill
Violence is bred in the free man
There is no such thing as freedom
In this world
We are all prisoners
Slaves to those devices
We can't live without
True freedom can only be found in death
No more money
No more chains
No more thorns to cause us pain
That's when freedom
We will gain
In a bottle?
In a pill?
In unflinching religious zeal?
Where hidden faces
In the name of their god, kill
Violence is bred in the free man
There is no such thing as freedom
In this world
We are all prisoners
Slaves to those devices
We can't live without
True freedom can only be found in death
No more money
No more chains
No more thorns to cause us pain
That's when freedom
We will gain

Promise
I promise I can control it
I promise you can trust me
I promise I can stop
I promise I don't have to do it
I promise I won't do it anymore
I promise I'll stop for you
I promise I'll stop for the kids
I promise I'm not an addict
I promise you can't believe a word I say!
I promise you can trust me
I promise I can stop
I promise I don't have to do it
I promise I won't do it anymore
I promise I'll stop for you
I promise I'll stop for the kids
I promise I'm not an addict
I promise you can't believe a word I say!

Slow suicide
It's a blissful torture
A disintegration of
Body
Mind
And soul
An old friend
You just can't tell no
A needle in your eye
A thorn in your side
A lie
Slow suicide
A disintegration of
Body
Mind
And soul
An old friend
You just can't tell no
A needle in your eye
A thorn in your side
A lie
Slow suicide

Passed away
Flashing forward thru the years
Schoolyard days to mourning tears
Memories forgotten, now so clear
I've passed away
Many loved ones I've left behind
Hope their memories of me are kind
Maybe I'll linger upon their mind
For I've passed away
On the dark days let me be
A light for you to search and seek
But please be content with my memory
For I've passed away
Schoolyard days to mourning tears
Memories forgotten, now so clear
I've passed away
Many loved ones I've left behind
Hope their memories of me are kind
Maybe I'll linger upon their mind
For I've passed away
On the dark days let me be
A light for you to search and seek
But please be content with my memory
For I've passed away

Shattered
My girl was there and pretended to care
As long as it looked good to others
But when things became tough
And the roads became rough
I seemed to become too much a bother
The drink and the drugs
Filled the void of a love
That no longer seemed to matter
Then piece by piece
Like broken glass at my feet
My life became incurably shattered
Shattered like a window
After innocent childhood play
Shattered like a puzzle
Thrown away in dismay
Shattered like a bottle
After each and every...
As long as it looked good to others
But when things became tough
And the roads became rough
I seemed to become too much a bother
The drink and the drugs
Filled the void of a love
That no longer seemed to matter
Then piece by piece
Like broken glass at my feet
My life became incurably shattered
Shattered like a window
After innocent childhood play
Shattered like a puzzle
Thrown away in dismay
Shattered like a bottle
After each and every...

Medicate
I used to run through golden fields
And taste the air so sweet
Barefoot I'd trod thru leafy wood
And thru the sparkling stream
No thoughts, no cares of things to come
I lived my life so free
Unconscious of the serpent
Who lie in wait for me
And without warning he struck
His venomous fangs sank deep
And cursed me with a horrid need
To be in love with my disease
So now I have to medicate
To stave off my desire
Medicate
I'm building my own pyre
Medicate
I'm lonesome, not alone
Medicate ...
And taste the air so sweet
Barefoot I'd trod thru leafy wood
And thru the sparkling stream
No thoughts, no cares of things to come
I lived my life so free
Unconscious of the serpent
Who lie in wait for me
And without warning he struck
His venomous fangs sank deep
And cursed me with a horrid need
To be in love with my disease
So now I have to medicate
To stave off my desire
Medicate
I'm building my own pyre
Medicate
I'm lonesome, not alone
Medicate ...

Help
I'm lonely but not alone
I'm lost without a home
Grasping at straws
Gasping for breath
Breathe in that rare air
Chase away death
Life is a candle
A flickering wick
Gone in a flash
All together too quick
Death is but a breath away
But once it's here
It's here to stay
HELP!
Help me long to see another day
I'm lost without a home
Grasping at straws
Gasping for breath
Breathe in that rare air
Chase away death
Life is a candle
A flickering wick
Gone in a flash
All together too quick
Death is but a breath away
But once it's here
It's here to stay
HELP!
Help me long to see another day

Seductress
I can't stop
This seductress is a part of me
A companion who's always there
Never failing to lift my spirits
And when she leaves...
The sadness returns
Constant longing
Forever craving
The company of my old friend
Who understands me like no other
My soul mate
My nemesis
Slowly dissolving me
Into her destructive fantasy
This seductress is a part of me
A companion who's always there
Never failing to lift my spirits
And when she leaves...
The sadness returns
Constant longing
Forever craving
The company of my old friend
Who understands me like no other
My soul mate
My nemesis
Slowly dissolving me
Into her destructive fantasy

Plastic
Plastic smile
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away
On a plastic face
No one can tell
But you know it's fake
Enveloped by covers
No one will see
This waste of space
I have come to be
No more fun
No more games
No more lies
No more pain
I'll just close my eyes
And make you all go away
