Medicine

What's a young boy supposed to do without a dad

Who do I go to when stuff gets bad

I was a kid you were my inspiration 

You were a father but the drug was your motivation

 

No one taught me how to play ball 

You never fed me so I could be strong and tall

I wish you could teach me how to pick myself up after shattering falls

But you were too busy falling on needles 

 

It's just medicine right pa?

Well why was I the one getting sicker then 

Why does a son have to lose his closet friend

When I become a father will I falter as well 

 

The very thought of it makes me feel like hell

The worst part is through the strangling abandonment 

I can feel my heart kick start into forgiveness 

Every time I start to miss you dad 

 

Which is all the time, I know you don't deserve it 

But the past is irrelevant

If we can spend the rest of these days as friends

Minus the medicine, sincerely forever your son
