lyrics

Now every time you see him there dead blank stare well he's been burning
And every time you see him dead on the floor in your dreams he's no more he's been snorting
He's almost there give it an hour or two and that dream will come true
Yeah he's been there with nothing to do but watch and let it go no purpose

Now I see him he's been dying on the surface
Trying to find a purpose outta things that have no purpose
He's been dying on the inside every single day
Fucking up on almost every thing he says
He's been smoking for so long that it's a habit
Hard to kill the elephant when he's trying to forget it
Monkey on is back has been nothing but a problem
Too bad that he's fucked and he'll never get it off him
He's been trying to forget all the mistakes he made
But it's hard when the sickness is etched in your brain
addiction is nothing but a problem to the family and fiends who wanna get it off him fuck him I don't need him I have myself and I
His fucking sickness does not comply to my mind stake
I say stay on your own cause your the only one you got from this point on

Yeah he's been burning ,burning, he's been burning he's been burning on the edge of this melody
