It was $5.00 once

They send us down the road to a living hell
A shallow place where life is a block cell
Windows made of the shadows of dreams
Cornerstone of hell daemons that scheme
Wandering around in shadows of the night
Girls tempting souls out of the drug life
Which is it to be a quick love of sorts
Or 100 dollars of coke for your nose to snort
Place your bets upon the throne
What is will never be borne
The race is on the white horse
In the sands of a desert course
Five and ten will get you high
The after math will make you cry
Silver slivers in the vein
A running open sore of pain
Blood boils hot upon a body cold
50 pays for the coke body is old
lips are dry as the night from which she came
still the please is as great as summer rain
Searing heat tears apart what left of my brain
the doctors say hes gone quite insane
Powders gone now for at least a year
But the memory still brings ranting fear
Demons come for me every single day
Memories inside my head send away
Hands still shake and tremors start
Fond is the memory but safe is the heart
Take the gift that is given very carefully
For the price is something you do not see
It might be the essence of all you ever hold
More than likely it will be your eternal soul
