Temptation is the fire that brings up the scum of the heart.

Uhm, as of late things have sucked really,
I can't stand to talk to Ricky, he's a drug addict,
an addict, I wanna know where the smiling boy went?

He always reeks of weed and he's got
glassy eyes that go on for miles,
I shudder to think of it, the regret.

I should've said something, and now,
he's popping pills, apparently,
he almost OD'ed last week, thanks Rick.

I always wanted to wonder on the weekends,
"Will Ricky be alive on Monday?"
And he calls himself a bad person.

But he won't stop, he can't stop.
He is the victim of addiction.
Ricky is still that good natured boy.

If only he could see that.
