Life, death, and addiction

I act how I want the world to see me
But is that who I am Or who I want to be
I don't know anymore. I might as well just lay on the floor
It's not like I'm anything special

I'd tell everybody that listened that this isn't the life I envisioned
We all had a purpose everyone had a mission
When I was a kid I thought we'd all make a difference
But now we just sit in silence and act so indifferent

People keep dying, from drugs and life without hope
They think they're alone, and they slip down the slope
The bottom is hard and it crushes their bones
They wait there for help or be drug down by stones

The people that die, leave a mark and a scar
I can't believe they would take it so far
Is what people say when the phone rings at night
They say, my life is now gone. I don't want to fight.

People need help, they need some support
Cause to the devil in hell this is all just a sport
Nobody dares to think twice on the matter
But the family an friends have had their hearts shattered

They won't ask for help, too afraid to be judged
But you'd be scared too if you're bodied been mugged
Addiction sets in with the first sip of dope
Old habits die hard, and they take all your hope

But You aren’t all alone in this fight.
All those around you have demons at night
Stand alone and you become easy prey
But together we stand and will live another day
