Lyrics

Is there no mercy, is there no shame
There's a child in the streets, there's no one to blame
No food on the table, save all you can give
A euphoric state is where you choose to live

Your synthetic life is what's bringing you down
You run right back to it, ride the merry go round
Your choice of powder, rock, or in vein
It's taking your life, it's your means to an end

Here I am, I'm alone thinking of you
What am I going to do
I feel your love that I felt before
Through my eye only the color blue

Forget your future can't remember the past
The dream that you had has surely faded fast
You lie and you steal to get your next fix
You can't turn a buck will you turn a trick
