MY LAST HIGH

MY LAST HIGH

They found me dead in a bathroom
In my high school right next to my math room
Seventeen 
The captain of the football team
But I had some serious problems
And I felt that no one could help me solve them 
A couple of perc 30's a day
And I'm nodding away
My best friend introduced me to the needle
It had me laying on the floor of my bedroom, fetal
I couldn't tell my dad
And my mom would get too mad
I'm high at the dinner table
Trying to stay awake if I'm able
I wanted to tell my teacher
I thought about discussing it with our preacher
But I just wanted to take the pain away
I didn't mean to die this way
I hid it well
I made my girlfriend promise not to tell
A teenagers life
A teenagers sacrifice
No one understands the struggle
My pill intake has doubled
And I'm looking for a way out
If they only knew what it was all about
Overdose or suicide?
But no chance to even say goodbye
This pain happens to often
Another kid in a coffin
Tell my momma I didn't mean to die
But this was my last high.
