Will Power

We say fuck the system
But the system is fucking us
Taking our lives away
With nothing but disgust

Getting knocked up and locked up
There is no one to trust
Getting big bucks only distrust
With nothing but lust

He said take the pill
It will kill the pain
And with that my life went down the drain

Loosing touch i must trust
That i am not a bust
Far out with no doubt
I cannot easily reconstruct

Far from the old me, empty and blue
I take the pills, to have a good time with u
Disconnected and spacey i must admit
With this feeling that my gut will split

When my veins run dry
I cannot help but complain
For the pain is unbearable
Its a miracle i am sane

Climbing out the deepest of depths
Is not an easy journey, honey
Please dont be mad at my mistakes
For i am drowning in the deepest of lakes

Asking for help is an odd option
When i have to admit that i have a problem
For me or for you this drug is compulsive
Infused with the angels, and demons
It cannot be trusted

So for this i have to say approach with caution
For it holds onto you until your in the coffin
And far too often a mother weeps
For the son she remembers
Week after week

Getting your life back is not an easy task
For at last you cannot go back
On track doing fine till the time has come
You relapsed again, with one dose
Your in the ground
There was no hope
For all you felt was the dope
