Prevention

Intro: For all the people that fell helpless I feel your pain,
Seems cloud after cloud comes heavy rain,
These feelings are hard to even explain,
Somehow our happiness becomes harder to attain�
Verse 1: Childhood memories, boy I wish I could remember more,
From dumb jokes to cooties on girls to playground square four,
Life was so easy then; I miss the younger days,
Then I lost some friends and we�d have to part ways,
Sorry for reminiscing so hard, but that time seemed the greatest,
So my mind played tricks on me and kept me on hiatus,
Just got lost in the times where I wasn�t so sure,
Looking left and right for the right cure,
Went into the pantry thinking it�s the right place,
And shortly after that some new juice awaits,
Nobody would find out, no one had to know,
My personal fixtures I kept on the low,
This new getaway from the world I had learned,
Went on too long before I turned,
Anger, sadness, everything, but being happy,
Alone in the world down a dark filled alley,
Screaming to no one up there echoing my sorrows,
Asking every morning �is my last day tomorrow?�
Too weak to fulfill the thoughts in my mind,
Somehow I overcame these feelings that made me blind�
Chorus: I�m not the only one with a difficult past,
Rest in peace to the people that didn�t last,
To the rest of you like me looking for redemption,
Keep staying positive and strive for prevention�
Verse 2: Straying away from the things that helped keep me down and out,
Ain�t the easiest thing to do and go back the same route,
Nightmares, flashbacks of the times that remind me,
I can�t believe that�s how my life used to be,
Seeing or hearing others have the same struggle,
It�s terrifying to know they have the same trouble,
The world isn�t against you, you just don�t realize,
That you and I both had the same eyes,
A mind that�s so dark and twisted,
Some symptoms are present, others are hidden, but we got the same sickness,
More juice, more fixes for this party of one,
Is that an insult I heard? Now closer to the trigger of the gun,
Hey man don�t pull it realize what you�re doing,
Death over life now what is that proving?
You�re supposed to leave when fate calls your name,
Not succumb to the evil playing games with your brain,
Look at your friends, your parents, your idols,
Now stop repeating this forbidden cycle,
Head up, be positive, move forward, and progress,
So you live like you�re supposed to and taste success�
Chorus: I�m not the only one with a difficult past,
Rest in peace to the people that didn�t last,
To the rest of you like me looking for redemption,
Keep staying positive and strive for prevention�
Outro: Suicide or attempting to kill yourself is a serious matter,
Hope to motivate others before they completely shatter,
Bless All People that�s the movement, the lifestyle, my new motto,
Find something or someone that makes you forget about tomorrow�
