Dope Lyrics by Jason Cole

Audible Mural

2019

[Intro]
You don't always get what you paid for
You don't always get what you paid for
You don't always get what you paid for
You probably started doing this to take away the pain, but instead you made more

[Chorus x2]
Listen, I've had enough of your lies. You're nodding off in public
Pupils often little pinholes, sockets permanently sunken
Wishing that I could be there just to soften up the punches
From the path you chose to take. You're not the person I grew up with

[Verse]
And I swear to god if I was there the first day you made that decision
I woulda been the one to knock you thе fuck up outta that hell you lived in
What a pity you had to give in to thе poison in your system. It's a prison
I'd break you out if I could and make every single sin forgiven
Not religiously but turn back the clock and reverse the process
I would rewrite history if I could have my friend back and that's a promise
But you're gone. Never coming back and it feels so wrong
I want you to see the pictures I paint but you couldn't even see where the line was drawn

[Chorus x2]

[Verse]
You were supposed to guide me, but how can you do that living life blindly?
I hope your psyche's fine but coming back in my life is highly unlikely
I'm so sorry. I will not be a part of the pity party
Something sucked the stars up out of the hole of a soul that used to be hearty
You taught me how to unwind, decompress the stress and have a good time
And now I'm supposed to be fine with watching you die right in front of my eyes?
No thank you. I don't take too kindly to people that can't be grateful
I have my own set of issues to deal with and gotta make sure I'm stable
But I'm not, because I've lost too many friends to drugs and bad thoughts
I never forgot the day I found you unconscious in that empty lot
If I'm not mistaken it was around the same time we decided to call up your father and mother
There's no worse feeling than telling a parent "Your son's in the gutter. He didn't recover."

[Outro x2]
It didn't do any good harassing you, so we did what we had to do
This is a matter of life and death, not just another habit. It's bad for you
