ABOUT:

My best friend growing up got hooked on this shit and it fucking crushed me. Writing this has been the only thing that's helped got some of the anger out.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Tried all my life to pour fresh water into the sea
Gracefully, it was rejected naturally

I promised your folks I'd take care of you
Little did I know just how little you cared
When the pills went missing

And it's sad I still think of you and all the trouble we got into
All the times we ran away only to comer back the next day

Are you relapsing on a blacktop somewhere
Or have you fixed yourself
Either way you haven't called

And it's selfish but it hurts
'cause I don't know which is worse
You forgot to take care of me

I could have let you overdose that night
The foam from your lips was less disgusting than all of the lies
You were suffering
I could have put you to sleep

I could have let you overdose that night
The foam from your lips was less disgusting than all of the lies
You were suffering
I should have put you to sleep
