On and On

Screaming 'til his head turns blue
Psychosis that was drug induced
But he only tried it once
He'll never be the same
Just a stroke of bad luck

She's pulling all her own hair from its roots
The voices say, "Everybody wants to hurt you"
Says sorry when they reach out a hand
She's been this way since the day it happened

And all the parents they don't know what to do
They just want their boys and girls back
To do the things they used to
But things ain't ever gonna be the same
And it goes on and on and on and on again

There's a woman named Rose
Her sons haven't visited in years
We just met but that doesn't stop the tears
Her son says, "Mom I'll come by soon
You know I've got just too much work to do"
Well remember that conversation on the phone
'Cuz it goes on and on and on and on and on and on

Oh you're not alone
Oh you're not alone

Breathing 'til his head turned by blue
What choice did they offer you?
Plenty of folks willing to turn a blind eye
Still more would rather recite a talking point
Than ever stop to ask "Why?"
Why?
Well you know what is right and what is wrong
And you know that it keeps going on, on and on and on

Oh on and on
Oh you're not alone

The girl soaks herself in water and bleach
She swears to herself she'll find a way to feel clean
They've all been told, "What's done is done"
But it goes on and on and on and on, on and on

Oh you're not alone
Oh you're not alone
You're not alone
Oh you're not alone

Oh you're not alone
