Years ago I met you from afar
You had a toxic glow
And I can still remember

The sounds you made
And the warm embrace
That you gave the stage

I was fifty rows away
Looking on, wondering how
I could be there too

And now you're my friend
I see you all the time
We talk about this life
And I don't wanna find you dead on the floor
Please God change!

Tales of loss have plagued you everyday
Suffocating thoughts

I don't dare pretend to know a thing
About your constant pain
The hunger in your veins
The mushroom cloud of blood that

Tucks you in to a warmer place
One that you'll regret but only after tasting
Total peace, feeling always missed
One that closes your eyes

Maybe for the last time

And now you're my friend
I see you all the time
We talk about this life
And I don't wanna find you dead on the floor
Please God change!

There's nothing I can do
To make you feel the truth
Of all you stand to lose
If you decay to use
Oh please God change!

Chorus
