Harder Drugs

Verse 1
You think it's all a game, chasing a high
But you're playing with fire, reaching for the sky
Needles and pills, promise you dreams
But those dreams turn to nightmares, ripping at the seams
In the beginning, it feels like a ride
But soon enough, it's a steep, dark slide
You lose yourself in the haze of the night
And wake up to a world that doesn't feel right

Chorus
Harder drugs, they'll tear you apart
Leaving scars on your soul and a hole in your heart
Family and friends, they watch and they cry
As you chase that high, saying goodbye
My friendship would break, my heart would too
If you went down that path, what would I do?

Verse 2
Marijuana might mellow your mind
But harder drugs, they leave you behind
Poking holes, sniffing lines, it's a dangerous game
One that ends in sorrow, one that ends in shame
You might think it's a thrill, a way to feel alive
But it's a thief in the night, stealing your drive
Every hit, every fix, is a step towards the end
A path that leaves you broken, with no way to mend

Chorus
Harder drugs, they'll tear you apart
Leaving scars on your soul and a hole in your heart
Family and friends, they watch and they cry
As you chase that high, saying goodbye
My friendship would break, and my heart would too
If you went down that path, what would I do?

Bridge
Life is precious, don't throw it away
On fleeting moments that lead you astray
The pain you cause, the love you lose
It's not worth the risk, it's not worth the blues
Think of the future, the dreams you hold dear
Don't let those drugs fill your life with fear
There's a better path, one where you thrive
Where you're not just surviving, but truly alive

Verse 3
I've seen the destruction, the heartbreak, the tears
Friends lost to the darkness, consumed by their fears
They thought they were strong, thought they could cope
But those harder drugs stole their hope
Their laughter turned silent, their eyes lost their shine
And all that's left are memories, frozen in time
Don't become a shadow, a ghost of who you were
Stay with the ones who love you, and keep your vision clear

Chorus
Harder drugs, they'll tear you apart
Leaving scars on your soul and a hole in your heart
Family and friends, they watch and they cry
As you chase that high, saying goodbye
My friendship would break, and my heart would too
If you went down that path, what would I do?

Outro
Stay with us, stay in the light
Don't let the darkness take away your fight
We care for you, we want you to stay
Don't let hard drugs lead you astray
We'll stand by your side, through thick and thin
Just promise us, that you won't let the darkness win
Together we'll rise, together we'll fight
To keep you safe, to keep you in the light
