[Verse 1]
The substances are killing us and we're blind
To the failed state of mind taking over, weakened
Suicidal medication in our blood
I'm a victim and it's killing us, couldn't even listen

[Chorus]
I don't know how to say it to you
When I can't even help myself
I battled my own use, know it's the cold truth
I don't want us to end up on the shelf

[Verse 2]
Needle to your vein
Killing like a pill to your brain
Needle to your vein
Promise you'll walk the path
Do you still care
Promise you'll walk the path
Who am I now?

[Chorus]
I don't know how to say it to you
When I can't even help myself
I battled my own use, know it's the cold truth
I don't want us to end up on the shelf
[Bridge]
I lost my friend, myself, and my lover

I lost my friend, myself, and my lover
I lost my friend, myself, and my brother
I lost my friend, myself, and my lover
I lost my friend, myself, and my brother
I lost my friend, myself, and my lover
I lost my friend, myself, and my brother
To the poison

[Chorus]
I don't know how to say this to you
When I can't even help myself
I battled my own use, know it's the cold truth
I don't want us to end up on the shelf
