Valium addiction of a mother

Lyrics

VALIUM By Steven Bradshaw

YOU PLAYED THE FOOL-YEAR AFTER YEAR- NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
AND DAY AFTER DAY- I HAVE BEEN WATCHING- YOU SLOWLY DIE
YOU?VE GIVEN UP HOPE- MMM HAVEN?T YOU
I DIDN?T EVEN REALIZE- THAT ITS YOUR FAULT- AND I CANT TAKE IT
THERE?S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME TODAY
YOU DRAW A CROOKED SMILE
AND AS THE CANDLE LIGHT- GOES DOWN
YOU WELCOME THE DARKNESS- BUT ITS YOUR LIFE

--CHORUS--
REACH FOR THE VALIUM- TAKE ANOTHER SHOT
PUT ON YOUR HAPPY FACE- THERE?S COURAGE IN YOUR POCKET
EVEN THE PTA- DOESN?T SEEM SO LONG
AND NOW YOU CAN MOVE AMOUNG THEM ALL- AS YOU CRAWL
WITH A SMILE- IT?S ALL IN THE VIAL

EVERYTIME I SEE YOU- ITS BEEN A STRUGGLE
YOU?RE GETTING NOWHERE- AND WHY, OH WHY
WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU SO UNHAPPY
WELL I GUESS YOU WOULDN?T KNOW
BUT YOU COULD DIE ALONE- GOD ALONE- ONLY KNOWS
WHY YOU CANT STAND PEOPLE- BUT CANT STAND TO BE ALONE
IT?S A TWISTED SIDE- OF YOUR LIFE
WHEN TIMES CALL FOR COURAGE- YOU ALREADY KNOW THE DRILL

WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN- I HATED HOME- SAME OLD SMILE- SAME OLD BOTTLE
EVERYDAY IT WAS THE SAME OLD STORY
BUT I KNOW- HOW IT FEELS-WHEN YOU DON?T HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE IN
NOT A SINGLE CARING FRIEND
BUT IT WAS CIVILIZED- WITH ALL THE LIES
DAYS DRIFTED INTO HOURS- INTO WEEKS- AND INTO YEARS
AND WHEN YOU CRIED ALL NIGHT-I JUST CLOSED MY EYES
JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME TO BEAR- TO WATCH YOU SLOWLY DIE
