The color that life has become.
All that mattered in my life
has up and disappeared
while Crystal Meth stood by
and whole-heartedly cheered.

Whispering in my ear
telling me nothing but lies
easily backing each one up
with convincing alibis.

"Follow me, naïve one,
into my tempestuous land.
Right beside the Gates of Hell
where life is all but grand.

Just one taste of my special sauce
will bring you to your knees.
Give me just half an hour –
you'll do anything I please!

Begging me for just one more
each and every single day
until everything else in life
becomes a darker shade of gray."
