My nerves hurt
From a sledge hammer and wedge
This venomous vicodin
Got me standing over a ledge
Biting my heels
Pushing me closer to the edge
And running from it don't work no more
Shoot me instead

Fallen a victim
To the dagger of remedies
"Oh no your heart broke?"
"Man, get off your knees"
No more anger no more hatred
"Trade your pain for these"
And if I'm broke it's okay
"I can get what you need"

Rose up from the anger
Now ends with regret
The pills keep me alive
If barely not just yet
A shell of what I thought life was
Now, never upset
How to go on living
Gentlemen place your bets
