The Antidote

"I have found the antidote
 For this poison life"
 That was all she wrote
 I met her at a Bad Religion show
 She seemed to understand
 What most people don't know
 I did my best to stay right by her side
 The years went by we tried and tried and tried
 The eyes are all around
 Some want to push inside and some look down
 Once in a life, you find a precious soul
 And then you learn your heart has no control
 "I have found the antidote
 For this poison life"
 That was all she wrote
 There are no words left to say
 To bring her face a smile to make it all OK
 The walls are closing in
 No matter how we play we never win
 Even our favorite stars come crashing down
 And we can't see their light it's underground
 We hit this world alone
 Even if we find someone, a home
 We know that it will be torn away
 And we will be alone again, someday
 "I have found the antidote
 For this poison life"
 That was all she wrote
 There are no words left to say
 To bring her face a smile to make it all OK
 Maybe life is a test
 To see who really sins
 And we fight and compete for the gold
 Then find out that nobody wins
 Maybe this is a dream
 And we wait to be woke
 And we cry and we scream
 To find out in the end it's all just a joke
 "I have found the antidote
 For this poison life"
 That was all she wrote
