Ridge Long - Saving My Soul Lyrics

Don't do drugs, don't get high
Just don't do drugs, just don't get high
Just don't do - man fuck that
Wanna smash the mirror as I'm outside lookin' in
Cause I can't stand what I see the reflection is sickening
Hate the man that I've become uncomfortable inside my skin
Turned my back on God because I turned into a man of sin
Sometimes I wonder, how I ended up in this predicament
Miss my days as a child runnin' round filled with innocence
Now I'm drinkin' out the bottle crushin' pills up and sniffin' it
Hopin' to feel some joy but it seems that this pain is infinite
Use to fill the void and make the voices go astray
Now I feel betrayed, I'm embarrassed and ashamed
I'm a liar, I'm a thief, I'm a addict, I'm insane
I'm a scum bad sinner and there's no one left to blame
Except my God damn self, I need some God damn help
Ain't a drug on the shelf that could numb the pain I've felt
What's the afterlife cause' this lifes a living hell
If I overdose tonight I know I'll do the world well
I've been gone, so long
They like when you coming home
I don't know, so cold
These drugs have got my soul
They say, don't you know
That you'll never be alone
I say I know, but I dont
These drugs have got my soul
7:45 a.m. fuck I'm still alive
All the drugs ingested in my system though I would've died
Gun by my side but too pussy to commit suicide
So I'm just playin' russian roulette every time I get high
Take my chances, life on the table I'm a blow a line
Then ride around town sellin' work with a loaded 9
Ask me how I'm doin' I'm hurtin' but I'ma tell you fine
Insecurities dulled down by how my gold shine
Crack a fake smile while receiving fake daps and pounds
From snakes who don't like me secretly wanna gun me down
Cause' they see I'm up nowe and countin' these large amounts
But all that money don't mean nothin' when ya soul is down and out
Another day down, same shit my life is on repeat
Wake up, get high, sell drugs and go back to sleep
And please God, as you lay me down to rest
My only prayer for you is that this be my last breath
I've been gone, so long
They like when you coming home
I don't know, so cold
These drugs have got my soul
They say, don't you know
That you'll never be alone
I say I know, but I dont
These drugs have got my soul
I've been gone, so long
They like when you coming home
I don't know, so cold
These drugs have got my soul
They say, don't you know
That you'll never be alone
I say I know, but I dont
These drugs have got my soul

Don't do drugs, don't get high
Just don't do drugs, just don't get high
Just don't do - man fuck that
Wanna smash the mirror as I'm outside lookin' in
Cause I can't stand what I see the reflection is sickening
Hate the man that I've become uncomfortable inside my skin
Turned my back on God because I turned into a man of sin
Sometimes I wonder, how I ended up in this predicament
Miss my days as a child runnin' round filled with innocence
