Getting high to get by

In a dirty public restroom.
Drinking some tea he made from mushrooms.
there are sores on his face from all the meth.
There’s a cloud over his head.
His whole family thinks he’s dead.
And do you know what?
He may be.

Getting high to get by.
Will let you down.
After all the times I tried,I have found.
You have got to plant your feet,
On solid ground.
Getting high to get by will let you down.

In a discount liquor store.
He found a quarter on the floor.
So he added up,
His dollars and his change.
All he needs is one more dime.
For a bottle of cheap wine.
It won’t be enough.
To stop the pain.

Getting high to get by .
Will let you down .
After all the times I tried, I have found.
You have got to plant your feet,
On solid ground.
Getting high to get by will let you down.


He started using it for fun.
Now it’s like a loaded gun.
That he has pointed at his brain.
A little is too much.
Then He can’t consume enough.
cause he’s medicating,
Self inflicted pain.

Getting high to get by .
Will let you down .
After all the times I tried, I have found.
You have got to plant your feet,
On solid ground.
Getting high to get by will let you down
