ritalin boy

just an unfinished song about a boy i used to know rather well and what he turned into.

Which pills were the easiest to swallow?

And I wonder, what was the color of the bottle?

Do you plan on warning your mother?

Or will you surprise her with your corpse under the covers?

He dances with the sky tonight

Unaware of his body putting up a fight

He's higher than the moon

Ritalin boy, don't you know you'll come down soon?

You're green, ritalin boy

Like the NyQuil that you choke down

Throw down another prescription pill

Chase it down with something to kill

Ritalin boy, you can't blame this on me

Ritalin boy, your life ain't what it's supposed to be.

He used to be golden, so golden

But he forgot how to tell wrong from right

Scared little boy, lost in testosterone, blood, and booze

Ritalin boy, you took every drug ever offered to you

Ritalin boy, there's nothing left for you to lose

He's got a permanent nosebleed

but bloodstains are easy to clean

His mind is always on his next fix

His addictions make his stomach twist

Ritalin boy, you've broken every promise

Ritalin boy, you've never been honest.

You're mean, ritalin boy

Like the metal that pierces your skin

Shoot yourself full of more heroin

Let the things that destroy you in

Ritalin boy, you're trying to replace me

Ritalin boy, you can't make me

Turns out all the pills were easy to swallow

And orange was the color of the bottle

Your suicide note was beautifully wrote,

But there's nothing beautiful about an overdose
