Spark a bowl

Swing low, sweet chariot,
And I'll swing high,
The torch? I'll carry it,
Let's light up the night.
It's with the help of my friends that I get by,
When their help's not enough, I just shut my eyes,
And I see people hiding from their darkest fears,
I see sad people drowning in their own fuckin tears
I see the best minds wasted,
The worst ones paid,
I see good men get taken,
Bad men get saved,
I see the world as it is, and it makes me shudder,
I try to think good thoughts, but I'm stuck in the gutter,
Only one thing pulls me out, you see,
Take a seat here, on the couch, with me,
And we'll spark a bowl together
We'll light up the dark,
We might not live forever,
But we'll leave our mark
