One X One

Got to stop this pain life causes everyday
The feen this needle feeds sleeps deep inside the veins
Chase the crack now Daddy's little girls on her back
Russian roulette if her mind was the money she had nothing to bet
All her dreams slowly fade away every time feens
So hard to take finally fell asleep never to awake
Someone hold me tell me things will be ok
No amount can fix me just make it go away
It starts to rot the brain with ignorance and then you go insane
One more line to heal like salt on flesh as the skin you peel
Across the tracks identified only by his back tat
It read The Taste Of Death well death tasted back and swallowed his last breath
Another slave now his Mother makes her way to his grave
Every single day praying for the baby that she just couldn't save
everything seems so far away I can't make through another day
Losing track of who I'm supposed to be and sinking deeper in this misery
visions of my past begin to haunt my dreams at last
Let me wake to find it's done and back the hammer off this gun
So the story goes but that's just the life that these three chose
We're just some so many more before us and many more to come
The 31st will be a year I finally lost my battle with the fear
See I'm the kid you couldn't help so I took it to the grave taken by myself
Gone everything is gone watch it as it falls
