Trigger Warning
When life gets rough
And you’re feeling stuck
Do what you will
But you’re in luck
I am the only stuff you will need to chill
The world i want to share
Won’t always be there
It will eventually die
So be prepared
To get impaired
I will teach you how to fly
Let me whisk you away
So we can play
In a world that’s one of a kind
You just have to say
If you want to stay
In a world no one can find
Give me your hand
Come to my land
I have things for you to see
Let the universe expand
From where you stand
Let your mind be free
But the sun is breaking
This world is flaking
They will soon collide
It’s yours for the taking
Reality is waking
And you need to decide
This world is fast
Not intended to last
Once you fall asleep
An exploding blast
To erase its past
Your secrets it will keep
The devils urn
Will take its turn
Your soul it will steal
But don’t be concerned
I can confirm
That this love was real
Once you’re sober
It must be over
That’s just our fate
When you’re older
Look over your shoulder
And there i will wait
You took my hand
Without a plan
A game that made you a toy
Drugs is who i am
Your life i demand
My purpose is to destroy
