Wasted Again
Written by: lord_hade
wasted again
the sun never shines upon body
lightning stretches across the midnight sky

I lay here in the street drunk again
watching the people pass me by,
watching and staring and laughing

they don't know what I've been through
they don't know what it took to get me here
only make enough money for a sandwhich
and a bottle of whiskey

I lay there thinking what I did to get here
where did I go wrong
I was always told to follow my dreams
and look where they got me

burned out on too much drugs
haven't seen the sun in so very long
they should bury me here to save some time

spare change here
cleaning out a wishing fountain to get some dinner
where did the care-free go

I listened to my heart
and ended up on the streets
stuffing my shirt full of newspaper to keep warm

maybe i can sneak in the library
they have heaters in there
don't want to go back to jail

wish I could pick myself up
but the alcohol just knocks me back down
I got too wasted again
