lyrics

Getting high
Is all I
Ever liked
Can't deny
Only cared
About my
Fix tonight
Lived a lie
And we try
While they cry
All the time
It's a fight
To get by
To live life
Then you die
Say goodbye

Don't leave me hanging
You ain't gotta go
Wake up, and tell me you'll be fine
We'll start fresh tomorrow
We were playing with fire when we gave into earthly desires
We never did stop getting higher
Elevated, wish I could touch the sun
But everything's cast in shadow when life is abbreviated
The view is bleak through the smoking barrel of the gun
Things become more clear when the suffering's alleviated
I wish you could have seen your inner beauty before you left
In retrospect, I should have brought it up more often
Self-image shattered when innocence is a victim of theft
Not loving yourself is a step closer to the coffin
Remember how you used to light up the room
Some stars implode too soon
Not everything happens for a reason
The gods love teasing what could have been
Consequently, the waves stop coming back to shore without the moon

I can still hear her voice as I listen to the seconds split
She said, "Just one more hit
Inexplicably, I'm not feeling it
Been sober for almost a year
My tolerance irrelevant"
Famous last words eternally engraved atop your permanent
Eulogy set in stone
Gone far too young
Another life full of untapped potential tragically gone amiss
No matter how hard we might resist
Dark thoughts persist
Wake up before you miss
You dreaming
Listen, tried to tell you ignorance is bliss
Welcome to abyss
