In the shadow of your laugh, there's a truth that breaks A glimmer of the person that the poison overtakes Through the haze of the highs, I see the lows The one I knew, now a stranger, a tale of woes You dance with the devil under the neon lights Each pill, each shot, another fall in the nights I scream into the void, but it swallows the sound Helplessly watching you as you're going down I'm watching you disappear, bit by bit, into dust Your eyes losing the war, your dreams begin to rust The monster inside you tearing out the trust I'm watching you disappear, and it's tearing me up I remember the laughter, now it's silent screams The future we dreamed of, now shattered dreams You're a highwire act in a circus that's bleak A parody of control, when inside, you're weak Snake eyes in the gamble, every roll of the dice Your demons deal the cards, and they don't play nice The needle, the damage, a soul condemned A battle with shadows, will it ever end? I'm watching you disappear, bit by bit, into dust Your secrets keep you sick, in the lies, you trust The monster inside you tearing out the trust I'm watching you disappear, and it's tearing me up Tell me how you want to feel, don't keep it from me I'd tear out the addiction, set your spirit free But the chains you wear, only you can break I'm standing by you, no matter how long it'll take It's a cruel parody, the person I see now Just a shadow, a husk, to the drug, you bow I'm here in the trenches, as you battle the night Holding on to the belief, you'll find the light I'm watching you disappear, bit by bit, into dust Your eyes losing the war, your dreams begin to rust The monster inside you tearing out the trust I'm watching you disappear, and it's tearing me up In the wreckage and the ruin, there's still a spark of you
