There And Back Lyrics - Biohazard - Biohazard

I've just returned from a long round trip 

Many tales I have to tell. 

Now I don't get high, 

so you think I'm not hip 

But I've seen the gates of Hell. 

How can a youth rise above all the shit 

When surrounded 

by such lousy influence? 

He clutched his pipe, took his last hit, 

And nobody's heard from him since. 

Chorus 

In this world of confusion 

Drugs were my solution 

The pain was breaking my heart. 

I shut out my reality 

Nearing my fatality, 

found myself falling apart. 

Miserable, horrible, life such an obstacle 

Making my own matters worse. 

To end up dead in a dark alleyway 

Or to ride in the back of a hearse. 

To die for a cause like pride or respect 

Or honor would make you quite worthy; 

A pitiful waste to live in the sewer 

And die before you reach thirty. 

Chorus (4x) 

Cop a bag as a crutch 

copping out, lose so much 

Hangin' out, dippin' butts 

Lost my mind smoking dust 

There and back 

Back in the days I was living a lie 

Too cool to show my feelings, 

too cool to cry 

Lost in a fog and unsure of my friends 

With a one way ticket 

headed strait for the end 

As the flames burnt the rope 

and my spirit cut loose 

I found my self wrapped 

in an emotional noose 

I said to myself continue no longer 

Today I face the world with a mind 

that is stronger 

Spent my time gettin' nice 

I crapped out rolling dice 

Look at me and my scars 

Now I live pure and hard 

There and back (4x)
