lyrics

You used to love the people who love you
You abandoned all love for your new found views
The friends who cared are the friends you should cherish
But instead your affairs have left them to perish
You speak about drugs as if they hold they key
They are the thugs who kill clarity
I cannot convince you to think against your will
'Cause then you would have the same opinion still

Your mind is fried but that's your concern
In a few years time think of those you have burned

You chose a path
It's been walked before
The farce you hated is the farce you adore
A riddle repeated time and time again
Your life, depleted
Alone with no friends
In search of your spirit
It does not exist
You're way past the limit but you still persist
To walk alone, solidarity out of sight
You can't postpone these years of your life

Your mind is fried but that's your concern
In a few years time think of those you have burned
There is more to life than self indulgence
You've lost the fight against your drug fuelled submergence

You're dead to me, mentally
And I'll try to forget
Those years you were free
But I will not let
You linger in my mind
For I live for the future
I can't waste my time
(On a burnt fucking picture)
