Left me lonely thinking they knew what I was bout
Tears fall on my lap as the needle draws out
I push in a plunger for another brownout
I wish for change but I'm injected with doubt
Was part of a family but they must have forgot
But I still remember all the lessons they taught
Even though I must sell drugs with no chance or way back
I smile knowing I was a hero in Iraq
They left me with medals and the spoils of war
Lonely without breath this soldiers on the floor
Pain and addiction, no options at my door
Saw success within my reach but not anymore
