The Trip

All it takes is one

One leads to another

Another leads to a couple

A couple lead to a round

A round leads to a lot more

A lot more is where the trouble can start

Caffeine, Cocaine,

Alcohol, Marijuana,

Call it whatever you want

Too much comes with a cost

Are you willing to pay it?

You told yourself it would be a boost

You wouldn’t be an addict

Truth is,

Everyone says that

You’re getting high,

But you’re feeling at an

All time low

Judgement blurs

Vision follows

Common sense doesn’t seem

So common now does it?

Nothing is real anymore

You wanted to live,

So you risked your life

For one night?

Does that sound right

To you?

My addiction always comes back

From time to time

We’re aren’t the same though

I learned to control it,

But you succumbed to it

I find outlets,

You find dealers

I find company with friends,

You make company with fake ones

I went for help,

And people helped me.

You didn’t trust them.

I wish you did;

They showed me

The real happiness of my life

Not the fake kind drugs gave me

The fake one it gave us

You saw me through so much,

You should have let me return the favour

I owe you so much,

I should have done more for you

If only you let me

We both went down the same path,

I told you I would never come back

I wish you went with me.

Now you’ve walked too far down

The path is so far deep

It’s next to impossible to help you

I want to though

You’re my friend

I wish you know that,

It hurts me to see you like this

You told me once,

That we were the same

Our fates were intertwined

Everything happened for a reason.

Now, I see you could never be so wrong

I see that our one difference

Makes all the difference in the world,

No matter what was common between us

Because what was common was drugs

What was different was the end result

The difference between you and me?

You’ve reached your spot at the graveyard

Mine’s still on reservation.
