What use to be black has now faded to gray
What use to be smooth, now wrinkles away
Hands like steel, and arms like trees
Now ache with pain and arthritic disease
...
Lost and alone the needle takes its toll
Another quick fix, another lost soul
Feeling the rush running thru my vein
As the euphoric feeling hits my brain
...
As night time arrives a gentle breeze begins to blow
Stars that have hid all day suddenly begin to glow
A bashful moon creeps slowly into view
Rising higher in the night sky as it slowly changes its hue
...
I wished I could touch you to feel you once more
Feelings I felt when I was around you made my heart soar
I hear your voice echoing in my head now and again
Your laughter still lingers like it did back then
...
One fatal bite was all that it took
The temptations of eternal life that could not be shook
Promises are made that can never be kept
These things he promised you while you slept
...
Memories of you are all I have left now
I will hold them forever and move on somehow
The moments we had and the times we shared
Memories of you are all that was spared
...
Listen my children to the cries in the night
As the angel of darkness awakens and takes flight
A fresh soul he hunts to him no one is safe
The last thing you’ll hear are the wings of the wraith
...
This is a trip especially arranged
Thru the mind of the mentally ill and deranged
The voices you hear are always there
Screaming and shouting sometimes they even swear
...
They say that for every action there is a reaction.
I say that for every action there is a chain reaction.
For example take the little boy that’s just found a dollar bill on the ground
