Amphitamine Shot

soaring high, you hit the floor
disappointments make you want to slam the door
you think everthing's fine
but you fall face down
motionless, you can't hear a sound

amphetamine shot in the arm
everything feels so warm
lovely butterflies fluttering
do you hear yourself stuterring...
stop. please stop.

it's a natural high, they say
but it sucks, either way
to leap before you look
your heart's an open book
everyone's feet on your bleeding chest.

amphetamine shot in the arm
everything's just false alarm
lovely roses all around
you let yourself scream out loud
but inside you can't hear a sound

beautiful face in the mirror...
is it yours?
take off your mask
no one's looking
throw your syringe away
amphitamine shot, pull the trigger
bullet to your grave.
