when did you make
recreation your religion?
when did you sacrifice
yourself up to that god?
when did you throw
the rest of your life away?
when you lost it all
where do you stay?

did you feel more hardcore
by outdoing us all?
our simple guilty pleasures
were your downfall

we all went through it together
but we learned our limits
why didn't you figure it out
now you're buried in it

how much did it cost you
to piss your life away?
how many times had you been warned,
"don't do it every day"?
we escaped our realities
but you escaped your life
you are so hardcore now
maybe you'd always been right

we took getting high as having fun
you took it like touching god
we lived it up until our tolerance
you kept going out of ignorance

you are so hardcore now
you won the eternal fight
you are out of reality forever
while i'm out for tonite

having seen what you have done
forever burned in my mind
going completely overboard
is not the end i'll find

i will always be in control
so history will not rewind
recreation is one thing
that will not shatter my mind

you took having fun to a destructive end
hopefully someone will learn so it doesn't happen again
