EMERALD AND LEHIGH

EMERALD AND LEHIGH

The winters are cold and the summers are hot
And I keep ending up back at the same damn spot 
This time I came to escape from a family that doesn’t understand 
That this was never my plan
My Mom just wants to send me back to Florida into another rehab 
And my father just stays mad 
The last time things were going great 
Then I relapse yet again, I call it my fate
I’m an admitted addict
Deeper than just a habit because Heroin got to have it 
I prostitute during the day just to pay for it
And I’ll do more for it
I down myself 
When I look in the mirror I clown myself 
I’m just another lost soul hurting
Another lost soul searching 
And nothing seems to change 
Not even my pain
Their stealing from my tent again
And an overdose last night took another friend 
But this is where I came to stay
This is my life, this is my today
And I don’t know if I’ll make it out 
There’s just too much for me to figure out
But if I die
I’m dying right here on Emerald and Lehigh!
