there & back şarkı sözü

i´ve just returned from a long round trip
many tales i have to tell
now i don´t get high
so you think i´m not hip
but i´ve seen the gates of hell
how can a youth rise above all the shit
when surrounded
by such lousy influence?
he clutched the pipe, took his last hit
and nobody´s heard from him since
chorus:
in this world of confusion
drugs were my solution
the pain was breaking my heart
i shut out my reality
nearing my fatality
found myself falling apart
miserable, horrible, life such an obstacle
making my own matters worse
to end up dead in a dark alleyway
or to ride in the back of a hearse
to die for a cause like pride or respect
or honor would make you quite worthy
a pitiful waste to live in the sewer
and die before you reach thirty
chorus (4x)
cop a bag as a crutch
copping out, lose so much
hangin´ out, dippin´ butts
lost my mind smoking dust
there and back
back in the days i was living a lie
too cool to show my feelings
too cool to cry
lost in a fog and unsure of my friends
with a one way ticket
headed straight for the end
as the flames burnt the rope
and my spirit cut loose
i found my self wrapped
in an emotional noose
i said to myself continue no longer
today i face the world with a mind
that is stronger
spent my time gettin´ nice
i crapped out rolling dice
look at me and my scars
now i live pure and hard
there and back (4x)
