Face first on the ground,
Everyone's staring and looking for more.
But what in the world could they possibly do?
So they stand and they watch
as the beauty erodes.

Let the poison flood your veins.
Let your memories all fade away.
You're all alone as you take your trip,
down the cold, dark lane that you call home.

They watched her come back,
eyes clouded and misty.
Forgotten faces and crumbled daydreams.
They could never get to know her.

Get a little higher sweetie,
the voices all would shout.
Yeah, get a little higher honey.
Let your demons come out to play.
Shoot the poison up, baby.
See what happens to you
Yeah, get a little higher,
We won't remember you when you're dead.

She let the poison flood her veins,
They sat and watched as she faded away.
She took her last trip down that lonely road.
Did she ever have something to gain?

They whispered their goodbyes,
as they stood above her grave.
They watched as the dirt filled her up.
There was nothing left to say.
