Textbook Case

Are you happy with the way you're living?
Alone in the dark
Turned your back on the ones who waited for you
While you had gone awry
Always chasing the one who won't ever run you dry
If you've got money, he's got the time
Cast aside everything you held dear
And now it's been so long it seems it never was at all

Breaking bottles, all is lost
Your addiction, have a cost
No excuses, I won't buy in
They're nothing but lies

Years past, everyday a new face to try on
Discourse as cheap as the highs you ride on
Believe me, I've tried to wait patiently, but it's getting hard
So hard for me not to speak, here's what I think

You're everything I never want to be
I hate to see a life so compromised
Potential sold just for a selfish drive
Every waking moment when we fail to change
There are choices made, we must search out life for today
Strength to live life for today
