Analysis of To all children who are on that crap



TO ALL CHILDREN WHO ARE ON THAT CRAP
child of mine where did you go?
i love you and worry so you know
your heart is bleeding and your head is over filled
but you keep doing that sh*t and your going to be killed
oh baby i know you hurt and i wish i could take away the pain
but the answer is not sticking that sh*t in your vein
please before its too late wake up and look around
i dont want to lay you in the d*mn ground
you think you hurt now and i know you do
but how do you think i will feel alone without you
take that sh*t and throw it away
while you can still be here for another day
