Poison

My friend called just the other day
Packed it up he won't be back this way
It's not your heart but the spirit they break
There's only so much a small town boy can take
See the eyes of the countless masses
Drinking life from the empty glasses
Chorus:
No more victims
No more lies
Ne sheer heart attacks
No more empty promises
No more lookin' back
I came here loaded searching for the dream
But nothing is ever easy as it seems
I thought I got closer to it every day
But every day it just got so far away
See all the faces paled
Shot to hell when the system failed
Chorus
I thought I could take all the sh!t in grind
And stand much more pain
But see all those dead end wishes
Eats away at the brain
Solo, chorus
