Poison Crutch
The Poison Crutch
Which we rely
To ease the pain
Is all a lie
We medicate
Without concern
An easy path
For which we turn
Escaping sorrow
Avoiding fears
Shutting down
Wasting years
Grave mistakes
And moments missed
Regrets and loss
Too long to list
It's not to late
Or out of touch
So cast away
The Poison Crutch
