Another
day another dollar
Another holler I want more
One more concert one more album
Another collar I'm your whore
Another dead another said
I fucked this up
I meant no harm
And this I swore
I meant no harm
Yet one more has died
They say their mind I fried
I never tried
I swear they lied
For them I cried
I've lost my pride
Come step inside my shattered mind
Believe me every time you cry
I'm sitting here, in this room
Steering from death
I come so close
Too busy laughing to breathe
No, please don't leave
Listen to my story
Please don't run in horror
Come look into my mirror
It shows what's inside you
See, you're laughing too
Those pathetic motherfuckers
Killed themselves because the music said to
