you say it makes you happy

you say it makes you free

you say you are invincible,

strongest thing to be

but a drug is more than happiness

it comes with a fair price

your friends and possible sanity

is a debt that will suffice

you tell everybody you’re fine

you hide behind a mask

but trying to seem fine when you’re not

is such a difficult task.

they told her it was good

they told her it was fine

they told her it would do no harm

they gave no simple sign.

it was a truth nonetheless

a truth fully meant, but

a truth that’s told with bad intent

beats all the lies you can invent
