Let's all go back to the playgrounds,
with smiling children, full of joy.
To that careless feeling,
and being yourself at all times.

I miss the adrenaline running through my body,
but definitely not the tears or the suffering.
I wanted change, so I made it.

My hate for everyone was strong.
Lying turned into my new language.
To only find how much I really hated myself.
I forgot what the truth was.

Suddenly, the wave of change arrives.
We were once called a family.
Sisters left, dad too, who’s next?

Found my new joy, my own ways.
Parking lots; five AM nights.
Man those drugs never took the pain away.
It was all a lie, just to pass some time.

I thought I knew it all, mind running wild.
I was blind to the truth,
And was forced to habitate a new home.

I vividly recall back, to my woman sitting down.
Feet kicked up on the ear-splitting radio.
She held that bottle like her best-friend.
Her eyes screamed pain with no escape.

I miss the adrenaline running through my body,
but definitely not the tears or the suffering.
I wanted change, so I made it.
