It was just one time
I don't get why
My friends thought
I should have a try
Now when I'm low
Near the needle, I sigh
Good feelings, so close
I guess I'll get high
I'll try to stop
No, one more time
But after this dose
I'll end this crime
Once, twice.
No, that's a lie
I use each day
Despite what I try
Regret, regret
To life: goodbye
I feel ashamed
I guess I'll get high
What should one do
If one's ship sinks
And one's entire family
Is left to die?
What should one do
If one thinks
That the unlikelihood
Is all in one's mind?
What should one do
If one is stranded
On one tiny lifeboat
In one giant sea?
What should one do
If one is handed
The most unfortunate
Possibility?
What should one do
With food close to none
When so close to death
With but one desire?
What should one do
If one is but one
In one viscious ocean
With one Bengal tiger?
