little brother,
you got so much to discover
Can 't you
conceptualize
what you're and to a mother
Those drugs
that you choose
leave you left with the blues
Trust me, I've been there,
to me it's old news
Pendant disaster,
you're heading there faster
It's tearing me up to know
you get so plastered
Cause you're caught up in the scene
at the age of nineteen
Maybe so was I at that age,
but I had a dream
And those goddamn powder drugs,
they fill you with doubt
You're just getting sucked on up in it
and you have to break out
Blacked out on the floor, you told me
The next day they found you that way
Those damn medications
had your back, babe
But it hurt when they took them all away
You're feeling so bad
You're looking for a place to land
Help me understand,
I'm an alligator by the hand
I know that it's hard,
but you're risking being
permanently scarred
You're hurting inside,
so you're flirting with tragedy
on the dark side
Those drugs that you choose
leave you left with a blues
Trust me, I've been there,
to me it's old news
Hey little brother,
you've messed up another chance
Sooner or later you must take a stance
At the edge of it all,
will you begin to consume that
product to its very end?
How much time is left?
Will you collapse?
Would you confess you're
in a spiritless void,
spinning into excess?
You backed down on the floor,
you told me
the next day they bound you that way
Those damned medications
had your back swayed,
but it hurt when they took
them all away
You're feeling so bad,
you're looking for a place to land
Help me understand
How in hell it got so out of hand
