Final Call
Addiction is hard to explain, unless you have been there
You truely can't understand anyone's pain
It's being caught between the devil and hell
Not wanting to use, but needing to, all you want to do is yell
So loudly but softly so nobody can hear, the torment in your voice, the sadness in your eyes
Is when you really know shit just got real
Being so sick, choice is no longer an option
So you do one more bag hoping this time it will lead to a coffin
You wake up mad that god didn't take you,
He's taking everyone else, why not me too?
I considered ending my own life untill i heard a voice
"My child it isnt your time, i have much more for you to do"
Towards the end it wasn't getting me high
All it did was take the sickness away for me to feel normal
It was just a big waste of money and time
I wanted my life back, i wasn't rasied this way,
Addiction doesn't discriminate, it doesnt care what you say
I did die, i was prounced dead, untill i got revived
I will never forget that look in my mothers eyes
When the doctors told her your child is gone, one more shot of narcan, she said
Please, you have to try, you can't let my baby girl die
I did come back, i don't know how, i dont know why
That look on my mothers face, the tears in her eyes
She looked up to god, "Thank you for keeping my daughter alive"
I didn't know what to say, i didn't know what to do, i was so sick
My mom knew i was suffering and said im going to get you help quick
I got into rehab, left it all in the past, three years later
Damn it went by so fast

'Being so sick, choice is no longer an option'
That is a good line. And true, when you find yourself this far down the track......
