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.
