Biohazard - There & Back lyrics

rate me

I've just returned from a long round trip

Many tales I have to tell

Now I don't get high

so you think I'm not hip

But I've seen the gates of Hell

How can a youth rise above all the shit

When surrounded

by such lousy influence?

He clutched the pipe, took his last hit

And nobody's heard from him since

Chorus:

In this world of confusion

Drugs were my solution

The pain was breaking my heart

I shut out my reality

Nearing my fatality

found myself falling apart

Miserable, horrible, life such an obstacle

Making my own matters worse

To end up dead in a dark alleyway

Or to ride in the back of a hearse

To die for a cause like pride or respect

Or honor would make you quite worthy

A pitiful waste to live in the sewer

And die before you reach thirty

Chorus (4X)

Cop a bag as a crutch

copping out, lose so much

hangin' out, dippin' butts

Lost my mind smoking dust

There and back

Back in the days I was living a lie

Too cool to show my feelings

too cool to cry

Lost in a fog and unsure of my friends

With a one way ticket

headed straight for the end

As the flames burnt the rope

and my spirit cut loose

I found my self wrapped

in an emotional noose

I said to myself continue no longer

Today I face the world with a mind

that is stronger

Spent my time gettin' nice

I crapped out rolling dice

Look at me and my scars

Now I live pure and hard

There and back (4X)
