Dying for a High
Dying for a High; Dying for the feeling
Stoop lower than the ground and
Get higher than the ceiling
You say it's not an addiction; Just a conviction
Life gives you the road; You choose the direction
It's not a disease; Just an infection
That leaves you stranded in the desert;
With a phone but no reception
Drugs are broken hearts and promises;
Only leads to dead ends
Doesn't always take your life;
Just your family and friends
Stop making excuses or trying to be the coolest
Put down the drugs and live life to the fullest
Surrender to God; Stop wasting tears
Take time to listen; That's why he gave you ears
Giving your all; In return getting nothing
If you are going to trip and fall;
There is no point in running
Don't run from your problems; Face them with pride
And if you mess up at least you can say you tried
Don't ever stop trying; Don't ever give in
Cause drugs are the foundation;
To build a platform of sins.
