Standing on a strange street corner waiting Knowing that soon you will be better has you anticipating The wait is only minutes but they feel like hours No umbrella despite the rain showers Then you see him coming and feel ecstatic But as he gets closer,his behaviour seems sporadic Then the exchange goes flawless,excitement begins to grow No words are spoken,not even for show You finally get back to your safe place Getting your rig ready is like a feverish race The draw up goes smooth And you tie off above the old faithful groove As you poke to find the right vein, When you can't you panic and it feels as if you are going insane You finally see the beautiful red mix with the brown As you push it in,you feel like a King would wearing his crown But this time it's different,something is not right You fall out instead of taking the flight Friend finds you unresponsive and calls for help Your mother arrives and lets out a blood-curdling yelp You are aware of none of this because you are now dead Leaving friends and loved ones filled with dread You may cheat the Spector many times Like a Judge,he has taken you for your crimes The funeral comes and it goes But the pain for your family continues to grow Before you decide to selfishly satisfy your needs Remember all the family you left to grieve It is a smart Demon and it's easy to listen to Just remember all the people you left behind that love you It is an everyday struggle for a lot of us human beings But next time you pick up the rig,try putting yourself in their shoes and see what the are seeing Live every day as if it is your last For the Reaper strikes ferociously fast
