Analysis of Overdose



We all know how it ends
Left alone with no friends
Burning deeper with the darkness in your heart
Every love you made is being pulled apart
Nothing to change your fate now
You’re falling, your soul to drown
Screaming, but no one is listening to you
The only color upon you is blue
The walls close in
You don’t remember everywhere you’ve been
Burning, Flashes
You're by yourself, surrounded by ashes
When can you breathe? Get some air
This is a game and nothing is fair
You must go, you must climb further
Everyone stares, in their eyes is murder
Call for help, the only thing to do
You climbed far but see no view
This is no beginning, its destined to end
No one with a heart to help mend
You take your final bow
On your knees, only thing your body allows
The floor filled up with tears
If only someone was there with open ears
You close your eyes, surrounded by lies
Spread your wings away, where you can fly
It's too bad that no one heard your cries
The only thing they want to know is why
