On a path of destruction
Can we ever break out?
You tell yourself it's nothing
As your future comes down
If you fan the fire
You might burn alive
Maybe it's addiction
And you won't survive the night
The overdose won't stop
The epidemic spreads
It's the fire, it's the lies
The deceivers writhing
Burning alive
It's the truth, never said
The thoughts are burning in your head
If history repeats
Then the lies are retold
The messenger of false hope
Fills the streets with blood
If you fan the fire
You might burn alive
Maybe it's addiction
That you can't survive
The overdose won't stop
The epidemic spreads
It's the fire, it's the lies
The deceivers writhing
Burning alive
It's the truth, never said
The thoughts are burning in your head
Overdose!
It's the choice you make
It's the lives you break
It's your personal hell
That you can't escape
On a path of destruction
Can we ever break out?
You tell yourself it's nothing
As your future comes down
If you fan the fire
You might burn alive
Maybe it's addiction
And you won't survive
The overdose won't stop
The epidemic spreads
It's the fire, it's the lies
The deceivers writhing
Burning alive
It's the truth, never said
The thoughts are burning in your head
