Y'know, we all get taught about
"What are we here for? What are we doing?"
It's like, y'know, everybody has highs and lows
A low time for me, just remember
Busted up with the wife
Come out here, startin' over
Just feelin' bad
Didn't care for a number of years
Just doin' all the drugs I could do
Do everything I could do wrong, I did it
If it was illegal, immoral, or fattening, I was an expert at it
Got runnin' with a guy, met up in a motel room one night
And I was tradin' him some drugs
I always made myself a deal, that uh
I wouldn't stick a needle in myself
But I'd let somebody else
So, we're sittin' there, we're firin' it up
And he, finally, he hooked me up a little too good
I went over and sat down, and uh, all of a sudden
Legs started kickin', heart started poundin', I knew I OD'd
I went in there, wantin' to die, I just really did
Then in the middle of all that, I just heard this voice
Just tells me, goes, "Be calm"
And, just as well as I had just heard myself say it
And all of a sudden it went away
I wanted to die, didn't die that night
So I must be around for a reason, y'know
Gotta be here for something
Everything's on a wheel man, goes around
It's just part of the cycle
