The Opioid Diaries
Their end of days looks more like tomorrow
Their end of days started with a pill
But they're not junkies like the news guy said
They're just kids who've gotten over their heads
Big Pharma hooked them in the first place
And it won't stop

You know it won't get better
Come on home while you can
I know I don't understand
You could still find your way
You know it won't get better
When those pills are gone, what's gonna happеn?
When those pills are gonе, what drug is next?

Be your undoer of knots
If you can't still find your way
You know it won't get better
