Cocaine the Death of Dreams

Shameyou left me to the nightmares of a dark room in an attic.you left me to the shadows of a ghost I could not see.you left me there to shiver and to crouch in silent placeswhen all the world I'd ever known had gone away from me.you left me with a memory and the image of your face.you left me with the fear of death that I could not erase.you left me when I needed you when I was only threewhen all the world I'd ever known had gone away from me.you left me without warning without telling me good-bye.you left me without saying that you loved me when I cried.you left me in the shadows of a child I could not findwhen all the world I'd ever known had left me far behind.you left me for a shot of booze a line of coke but moreyou left me in the dark of night when I was only four.you left me by myself to find a way to stop the fear,when all I ever wanted was for you to be so near.and now I'm standing oh so tall so daring and so proudthat I have made myself a world where you are not allowed.a world that is free of pain where little children playagainst the dark room shadows of a ghost I cannot name.
