Pain

brains full of led        
every night you go to bed        
it's all in your head        
but the sheets are stained red        
       
releasing the pain        
clearing your brain        
is something you need        
or so it seems        
       
drinking a bottle        
or going full throttle        
running away        
achieving a new day        
       
a needle in an arm        
no need for alarm        
you mean them no harm        
we all belong on the funny farm        
       
received a call        
your old friends dead        
overdose is all        
that's what they said  
     
accidental or purposeful        
there's relief in feeling cool        
remember the other kids in your old school?        
       bullied queers        
       dirty leers        
       victims of rape        
       some felt there was no escape        
       suicide        
       so many died
   
me, i just wanted to stay fried    
       
where are the others?        
       
nice cars        
training to go to mars        
dirty needle and a crack pipe        
then there's mike        
       
funerals and tears        
so many throughout the years        
bottling our fears        
comparing to peers        
       
the world certainly has pain and hate        
please try not to relate
