Sober

Redefine "Fun"

...When I sit to ponder

every time I wonder

What can drive a man to the point of murder?

 

Staring at my victim

Looking down in victory

Its no wonder I can't see the devil

Lurking deep within

 

Or that I AM- the victim

Beaten to confusion

Intelligence traded

for a sip of "Intellectual Degradation"

 

But when I'm told to stop

I scream..."I'M HAVING FUN!"

Failing to see the face

that I keep spitting on

 

And when THE HANDS OF LOVE

Reach out FROM ABOVE

To scream in my ears

"Son...YOU'VE GOT TO STOP!"

 

I shout even louder

To re-echo even harder

Its not my fault... 

its these pressure all around Lord!

 

Shadows laugh and point

My friends begin to taunt

My vision clouded by the FUN I love

 

My legs slowly become lazy

My vision far too hazy

Dancing in a trance like I'm in a maze

What is this?!!!

 

I only come to a halt

After the music stops

Its then my legs have finally given up

 

Soon the morning dawns

And its time to get up

But I wake screaming

for the echoes to stop

 

And the night that follows

To drown away my sorrows

I do it all again cause…

I JUST CAN’T SAY NO!

 

And when I ask me...WHY?

I just breakdown and cry

Tis the whispers IN MY HEART

that lead me to write...

(start again from the top)
