Fairy tale no more
As if it was before
Opportunity opened a door
A little of me
For a bit of you
Drugs got in the way
Love the high perhaps
More then each other
Won't really know the score
Until we get sober
But that seems like a long shot
Better chance of getting hit by lightening
Speaking of which
How will we get it?
How much are you willing to share?
Extent of our arguments
Irritability never relents
Until we satisfy one endless fix...

Everything else important
Falls by the wayside
Children that we adored
Sleeping soundly in a stranger's home
As we slip further into the grasp
Of the beast
They'll be strangers no more
We can't even stop to think
Numb, Euphoria in a blink of an eye
Don't want the other 2 get help
We can't struggle alone
Or allow the other 2 handle the dope with
Coping mechanisms futile only
This rock promises salvation
Upon our hearts beating from nihilism
Twenty minutes 2 spare
Until our souls are
Hollow from despair
Do we care
Or is it a disease?
Break the last word up
And you'll have the answer
To why we forever dance
In the flames...
