Snowball Effect
I was abused by a twisted beast
Who left and died to rest in peace
I told my story and confessed
But I still feel used and depressed
They said “It’s all in the past, you’ll be alright”
But I know I’ll never be able to sleep tonight
So I do what I can to help me cope
With all this meth, crack and dope
I fly so high and feel so numb
I don’t realize what I’ve become
Then one day my parents walked in
My bedroom smelling of heroin
They cried so much and asked me why
I said I don’t care I want to die
They offered to help me if I tried
To stop my drug habit but I denied
They yell get out and don’t ever come back
Unless you take our help and get back on track
So I take my stuff my drugs in tow
Without a home or place to go
I walk the streets as high as a plane
To find the guy who sold me cocaine
He says don’t worry you’ll be fine
Just stick with me and do a line
I sniff the powder through my nose
And feel it spread down to my toes
I wake up the next day with a pounding head
In an emergency room and hospital bed
The doctors say I came so close
To dying of an overdose.
This is what happens, the snowball effect.
