• Raise your arms
    Raise your eyes
    Take a look
    At the sky

    Can't you see
    You're alive
    One more day
    You survive

    But then in the night
    You tie your arm
    You p***k yourself
    The devil's charm

    The blood, the scars
    the drugs, the pills
    Needles, Meth
    and piling bills

    You just don't care
    Your judgment clouded
    Just one more hit
    The danger mounding

    Kissing the devil
    Dancing with fate
    Your vision is whirling
    You're life is at stake!

    But, heeding all warnings
    You just take one more
    Your body gives out
    And you collapse to the floor

    Your friends laugh and point
    Make you look silly for all
    They draw on your face
    Then drag you down the hall

    They throw you on a couch
    And there you will lay
    For the rest of the night
    And all the next day

    They laugh as they poke
    And try to wake you
    But not a sound do you make
    What they all warned came true

    Tears and pain
    You see your mom's face
    You want to say something
    But your mouth stays in place

    No more retries
    No more redo's
    No restarting life
    No respawing anew

    Death is final
    It's hard to understand
    You want to hug your mother
    And hold your sister's hand

    Such a beautiful suit
    Your mom has picked for you
    And your dad chose your bed
    That you'll lay in, it's blue

    Your mom speaks up
    With tears in her eyes
    That you missed Senior Prom
    And then starts to cry

    Words in God's name
    Are spoken above
    Then a click echoes loudly
    As your coffin lid is shoved

    That's my warning
    That's my plea
    Don't do things
    So suddenly

    It may be fun
    To go and try Meth
    But just once
    Could be your death
