lyrics

Slumped in his chair of despair

Seeking empathy

It’s apathy he got

From those who will not show pity

For everyday, when he stuck the icepick in his arm

He wanted me to try and figure out

Who will forgive or forget?

No one needs to live a life that’s full of regret

I watched him pull the tourniquet

Off his arm now his eyes roll back

Into his head where the demons are slaying

Another fiend for a substance enslaving

Youth on the street

Man, Society’s craving

A new found answer

But are the youth really worth saving?


You’re stuck in an endless cycle of torture and abuse

When it comes down to it, to escape what will you choose?

With bloodshot eyes, are you really here?


Another day he’s fighting with the curse

He’s snatched another purse

Ambitions growing worse

Violence festers in his silence

Now he’s blinded

And indecisive

Another night on the streets, he’s alone

Another mouth full of vomit and foam

Why can’t he just get the fuck home and realise

We just want to save him?


And the band will play on


I can’t see inside his head

Corrosive lifestyle

Corrupted mind


You’re stuck in an endless cycle of torture and abuse

When it comes down to it, to escape what will you choose?

With bloodshot eyes, are you really here?

When it comes down to it, to escape what will you choose?

With bloodshot eyes, are you really here?


Slumped on the floor

Wanting more

So he stuck it in

He grew so pale and thin

But now the motherfucker’s dead


Shackled to addiction


Dead
