"Perfect" Life
Your head is filling up with smoke
World swirling around
Time slowing down
Is this really the star student we knew?
Is this what is takes to make his world better?
Look at MR. POPULAR now!
A junkie, pothead, druggie...
How many other names will he be called when everyone finds out?
Loser, screw up, pathetic, worthless, drop out...
That's why he hides it so well
He can't lose his "perfect" life
Yet no one knows the stress he feels, the termoil inside his head
He's messed up
But no one helps
He won't let them
When anyone gets close to finding out, close to him, maybe wanting to help, maybe wanting to expose him
He pushes them away, threatens them
Who they are, what they want makes no difference to him
Family, friends, his coach, his girl, his mom and dad...
He'll do whatever it takes to keep his perfect life
Never kick that habit
No matter who he hurts
