Death By Meth
by Irregular

Album: Merely A Glimpse

Its Daddies little girl only 17
Straight A student reputable beauty queen
Seen as a clean cut popular girl
Hiding real pain from the rest of the world
Broken home living with a secret
Father missing no visits on the weekend
Doesn't need em left when she was young
Chasing a glass dream strung out on the run
Ice phone trapped by his addiction
Hasn't seen his daughter since they sent him off to prison
15 years staring at a jail cell
Caged up for the killing of a little girl
Mother daughter walking home from school
Shot em both for 20 dollars and some jewels
Tweaking fool being ruled by the devil drug
Chasing death by meth on some necro love

Chorus:
Flesh of his flesh blood of his blood
Death by meth overcome by love
One from above one from within
One on a cross to save us from sin


Let it burn let it burn till you finally learn
Surrender enters then the tide begins to turn
Screaming help in middle of the cold night
Crying on his knees to a God he don't know like
If you're out there send me a sign
Save me from myself and this rotten life of mine
Silence in his mind listening for help
Doesn't hear an answer places God back on the shelf
He decides to do it on his own
Do it all alone on the road to back home
Failed in his cell a personal hell
Till a guard walked up with a story to tell
Said addiction made him suicidal
Before he found Christ in the scriptures of the Bible
Handed him the good book marked in the Gospels
Said to read the writings of apostles

Chorus:
Flesh of his flesh blood of his blood
Death by meth overcome by love
One from above one from within
One on a cross to save us from sin

Verse 3:
Daddies been reading for 6 years straight
For every chapter wrote a letter to the state
Prayed to the father for delivery from misery
God answered gave him a Spirit of divinity
Hope building finally called his little girl
Said he'd sow all the sea just to find his little pearl
But she ain't little she's already 23
In the final weeks of her bachelor's degree
Let me be let me be is what she's telling dad
But he ain't hearing it doesn't make him mad
It only makes him focus (harder)on his hearing
Parole board meeting decides his release
Back to the streets free walking new man
Decides to show up at his daughters graduation
Fear in his stomach but Christ in his heart
Overcomes anxiety and makes it by the start
Doesn't recognize her but see her when her names called
Walks over and hugs his little angel

Chorus
Flesh of his flesh blood of his blood
Death by meth overcome by love
One from above one from within
One on a cross to save us from sin
