Chained in these walls, door to door Gray, the lack of sun Gray, the mood among us all Gray and somber each phrase Share my life with strangers I shall not see outdoors Fake smiles and hope A lie or maybe two or maybe always Lets eat together and watch the same old channel Every day repeat yesterday Am I on the list today? Is it my turn? Pump me with more pills To drown the emotions and thrills I no longer feel or want to Rehab, oh rehab Someone new, lost like so many before him Shrieks of withdrawal, of never again How many times? Five, but this is the last Sure, naive, denial we do share The hope and disappointment Of familys that refuse to give up The hope these gray rooms will teach What we already learned so many times The halls we pace, maybe for the last time This is do or die
I wrote this from memories of a time I wish to forget
