Biohazard

I've just returned from a long round trip 
Many tales I have to tell 
Now I don't get high 
so you think I'm not hip 
But I've seen the gates of Hell 
How can a youth rise above all the shit 
When surrounded 
by such lousy influence? 
He clutched the pipe, took his last hit 
And nobody's heard from him since 


In this world of confusion 
Drugs were my solution 
The pain was breaking my heart 
I shut out my reality 
Nearing my fatality 
found myself falling apart 
Miserable, horrible, life such an obstacle 
Making my own matters worse 
To end up dead in a dark alleyway 
Or to ride in the back of a hearse 
To die for a cause like pride or respect 
Or honor would make you quite worthy 
A pitiful waste to live in the sewer 
And die before you reach thirty 


Cop a bag as a crutch 
copping out, lose so much 
hangin' out, dippin' butts 
Lost my mind smoking dust 
There and back 
Back in the days I was living a lie 
Too cool to show my feelings 
too cool to cry 
Lost in a fog and unsure of my friends 
With a one way ticket 
headed straight for the end 
As the flames burnt the rope 
and my spirit cut loose 
I found my self wrapped 
in an emotional noose 
I said to myself continue no longer 
Today I face the world with a mind 
that is stronger 
Spent my time gettin' nice 
I crapped out rolling dice 
Look at me and my scars 
Now I live pure and hard 
There and back
