Epitaph

Almost went back to my old friend, Mary Jane
Something about her calls my name
Makes you numb and forget
Something I desire to get

Open your mind and see the pain
Open your mind and see the consequences
Not so pretty now, is she
Not so pretty

Narcoleptic mind sinks in quietly
But no matter what, she is stealthy
Makes you fall in love without knowing
Not all of her true colours are showing

Open your mind and see the misery
Open your mind and see the tears
Not so pretty now, is she
Not so pretty

Settling in silently once you think you are free
Little by little, she will never let you be
There she is around the corner waiting
Planning your life and the baiting

Open your mind and see the shallowness
Open your mind and see the emptiness
Not so pretty now, is she
Not so pretty

Be strong and walk away
It will be easier day by day
True friends will understand
Time to take a stand

Live alive and well
No flickswitch to hell
Smiles and laughter the norm
Feel all safe and warm

Say goodbye.
