Smoke too many cigarettes; Turning your lungs black, Filling your body with poison. Sick to the stomach. Thinking too much; Not thinking enough. It leaves you feeling that little bit more, As you fall to the floor, Counting steps, No feeling in my legs. Knowing that you are killing yourself. Too tired to care. The adrenaline gets you high, Like a muffled buzzing noise in your ears And bleeding in your brain. They tell me it's expensive suicide, But I just want to feel alive Have some substance to my life. To be able to feel the wind in my hair, And rain pouring down my face. Because at night That's what is keeping me safe .

Drug abuse
Smoke too many cigarettes; Turning your lungs black, Filling your body with poison. Sick to the stomach. Thinking too much; Not thinking enough. It leaves you feeling that little bit more, As you fall to the floor, Counting steps, No feeling in my legs. Knowing that you are killing yourself. Too tired to care. The adrenaline gets you high, Like a muffled buzzing noise in your ears And bleeding in your brain. They tell me it's expensive suicide, But I just want to feel alive Have some substance to my life. To be able to feel the wind in my hair, And rain pouring down my face. Because at night That's what is keeping me safe .
