Joshua, What’s happening man?
Looking for oblivion in the bottom of a can
Searching for release with that Candy *****
- that’s rich.
Joshua, what’s riding your back?
To fry your brain with pipes of crack
Smoking reefer till you forget your name
- that’s lame.
Joshua, what are trying to forget?
Wishing your mom and dad never met
Piercing your veins with crystal meth
- that’s death.
Highs and lows, down and outs
Closing doors against the shouts
Seeking solace in drugs of despair
- man, I care.
Joshua, is the end so nigh?
There’s no problem in getting high
Just not so high and not so fast
- it doesn’t last.
Joshua man, can you swing it around?
Loosen the grip before you end in the ground
Twist the noose before the final slip
- that’s hip.
Joshua, you were drowning man,
Rescued by a helping hand
But enough already, we’ve talked the talk
- let’s walk.

I completely understand this one, and am impressed by the way you've written this.
'Drowning man' - very apt.
Thanks for sharing this one. |
