scott weiland


“i read the news today, oh boy”

 

we never thought we would be caught

          dancing to decrees

addiction is the noose that’s brought

          unto the hanging tree

we wish we could be as we should

          but wishes don’t come true

we all will reap just what we sow

          and always pay what’s due

 

another breath that’s after death

          i cannot say although

the days are lost within the cost

          that every addict knows

i’ve outlived almost all my heroes

          who wrote while they were high

we roll the dice against advice

          and watch each other die

i say goodbye to you and i

          as you have left our shores

you’ve joined the list, you will be missed

          as all your whispers roar

 

(take time with a wounded hand cause it likes to heal)
