I could have said no,
i could have done the smart thing,
But I needed to feel alive,
but dead at the same time.
I wanted that high,
I needed that fantasy,
Make it a reality.
Decisions were too easy,
I didn't think.
I just did, and I was ready to take it on,
and I knew that I suddenly belonged.
So when Landon offered me the pills, I took them,
No questions asked,
I didn't even know what they were.
There was four of them,
four little tablets,
four little white death pills,
and I grabbed a cup sitting on the table and swallowed them,
and I closed my eyes as each of them went down my throat,
one
by
one
by
one
by
one...
and I was now in this existance,
and I opened my eyes and peared into Landon's hungry eyes,
and I'm ready to take this on....
and I realize,
this is where I belong...
