Pick Your Poison

Running from yourself left you stranded
 And now you're exactly where you never thought you would be
 In the dark without a light to guide you
 What once was a breath is now a gasp to survive
 You left so much behind, so many questions unanswered
 The other side, the crash to the burn
 The fingers that picket for your solid satisfaction
 Belong to the hands wrapped around your neck so tight
 You live today without a care, tomorrow will come and I'll still be here
 I gave myself to you and you left me with lies
 And there will come a time when you have so much but there's so little that you can touch
 And still I consider you a friend
 For every temporary sucker that's in place that you need
 Is another cry for you to return
 You've been there, you've been square, but nothing in between
 Now it's time to find those who are looking for you tonight
 You live today without a care, tomorrow will come and I'll still be here
 I gave myself to you and you left me with lies
 And there will come a time when you have so much but there's so little that you can touch
 And still I consider you a friend
 It's hard to accept
 But there's people that don't care
 In a world so cold
 It may seem unfair
 But you've got to realize you have a purpose
 And it's not through your nose that you can see the light
 When I was scared you picked me up
 You told me never to forget that I'll be there by your side
 So here I am, we've gone too far
 And it's been a long time since we've been at peace
 We followed a part but I still know
 That behind the mask is a familiar face, it's you
 You live today without a care, tomorrow will come and I'll still be here
 I gave myself to you and you left me with lies
 And there will come a time when you have so much but there's so little that you can touch
 And still I consider you a friend
