Right Bullets, Wrong Gun

Feeling dark
Watching the rain
Trapped in myself
Going insane

Worries stay focused
On someone out of reach
Leaving my comments
But trying not to preach

I've walked the same roads
That you're walking now
Wanting so much to help you
But I just don't know how

Your moods keep swinging
So high and so low
Now scraping the bottom
How much lower can you go

We want nothing but happiness
and some peace in your life
No one is jealous of you
or your wife

The new love that you've found
I hope it keeps you warm
And reminds you where your heart is
As you weather this storm

People still love you
And we all commit sins
Nothing you've done
Should cause friendships to end

Heart beats fast
From the pills and cocaine
Everything to lose
Absolutely nothing to gain

Feels good for awhile
I know, I've had my fair share
But drugs fuck with your mind
And make you not care

Not ready to quit?
No! Not yet!
Playing a game
Of Russian Roulette

More and more untouchable
with each passing hour
You like who you are
And you love all the power

Too bad what you're feeling
Is just and illusion
Life is a game
And Buddy, You're losing

Tearing it down
and throwing it away
Your hole getting deeper
With each passing day

You'll wake up one day
And there will be nothing left
Except a few friends
And memories you've kept

So I'm begging you to wake
And open your eyes
Before someone gets hurt
Or GOD FORBID, DIES

Friends, family, and fans
We all watch and we wait
Please let us help you
It's still not too late

P.S. Starts taking more and more.

O_o Jesus, Sdock10... your latest just sent chills up my spine!

You have more faith than I do, my friend. It appears that his new "love" may be keeping him drunk rather than warm.

I'd still help him if I could, though. Not that he would listen.

Thanks Midnite. I'm trying to hold on and keep believing that somewhere inside him there is still someone who wants to be helped.

Great job...I wish I could be that direct and creative at the same time. I hope he reads it and takes something away from it.

Just read your comment on Already Gone's blog. You're not heartless, Sdock10. You're in pain, but your heart shines through.
