The pills They take a toll on you Make your head feel like a balloon You walk When they yell run And you are finished before they are done I don’t want this to be over Cause it’s all I’ve ever known But they tell me to go sober And I can’t cut off from the cards I was thrown Take me the end of the world Watch me consider jumping over the edge I’ll be right there at the ledge And the world wants me to be dead I’ve gone through the struggle I’ve gone through the war I’ve gone through hell twice And I won’t anymore The world’s on my platter My life’s at my feet But I step on my future Dirt’s nothing to eat I run Circles around the truth Honesty is hiding behind a suit Lies **** Just like ****** But no one thought to tell me it’s a sin Drugs must be easier than Hearing the monsters And carving my skin But drugs are just impostors. They drown out the garbage They will drown out accusers But they drown out the future And **** their abuser I’ve gone through the struggle I’ve gone through the war I’ve gone through hell twice And I won’t anymore The world’s on my platter My life’s at my feet But I step on my future Dirt’s nothing to eat I want to end this once and for all So no longer will I be the one who will fall I’ll stand up straight, I’ll stand up tall And my platter will be empty

Dirt on my Platter
The pills They take a toll on you Make your head feel like a balloon You walk When they yell run And you are finished before they are done I don’t want this to be over Cause it’s all I’ve ever known But they tell me to go sober And I can’t cut off from the cards I was thrown Take me the end of the world Watch me consider jumping over the edge I’ll be right there at the ledge And the world wants me to be dead I’ve gone through the struggle I’ve gone through the war I’ve gone through hell twice And I won’t anymore The world’s on my platter My life’s at my feet But I step on my future Dirt’s nothing to eat I run Circles around the truth Honesty is hiding behind a suit Lies **** Just like ****** But no one thought to tell me it’s a sin Drugs must be easier than Hearing the monsters And carving my skin But drugs are just impostors. They drown out the garbage They will drown out accusers But they drown out the future And **** their abuser I’ve gone through the struggle I’ve gone through the war I’ve gone through hell twice And I won’t anymore The world’s on my platter My life’s at my feet But I step on my future Dirt’s nothing to eat I want to end this once and for all So no longer will I be the one who will fall I’ll stand up straight, I’ll stand up tall And my platter will be empty
