Just One More

Here I sit in a pitch black room looking at the table covered in my sweet escape.

Just one more.

That's all I need.

Just one more hit

Take the pain away

Into my blood it flows

Shaking hands begin to calm

But at what cost?

It's time to wake up

This dream only lasts so long

Say goodbye to the good, the sweet short bliss of my high

Just one more?

Let me escape my world

I want to escape

I want to get away

Just one more?

Sure, let's go again

Let me escape the pain

Calm my shaking hands

Sweating bullets

The world slows down

Make me invincible

Who cares?

I don't

My friends don't care

Nobody cares where I am

Life is better this way

I've run out?

What day is it?

Where am I?

Who have I become?

I've lost evertything

I've lost everyone

What have I don't?

All because I just wanted one more

I wanted to escape the pain

To escape the torment

I can't do this anymore,

Sitting in a pitch black room

I'm all done

Just one more, but no more to be hand

Just one more
