Minutes Like Hours *You walk into the store and stride down

Minutes Like Hours
*You walk into the store and stride down the aisle.
*You pick me up and try to look casual while you carry me down to the checkout line
*Pull out your wallet..
*You soon will be mine..
*Your friends are observing..
*Every move that you make..
*The clerk asks for an -ID-
*You show him a fake.
*You quickly walk down to the front of the store..
*Your friends are waiting for you as you step out the door..
*You hop in the car
*And drive away from the shop
*Then you shut off the ignition
*And pop my top
*You take a few drinks
*And pass me around
*That's when you decide
*To take a drive around town.
*You turn on your car
*And put your foot on the clutch
*"I'm sober" you think
*"I didn't have very much"
*You pull into the road
*With me by yourside
*Taking occasional sips
*As you enjoy the ride
*Then the breaks on the car
*Infront of you squeal.
*You try hard to stop..
*You skid off the road..
*You know you have crashed.
*The dashboard is shattered..
*The windshield is smashed.
*Minutes Like Hours..
*Your in trecherous pain..
*That washes your senses,
*Envelopes your brain.
*The screams all around you are faint to your ears
*And life flashes before you..
*Your hopes and your fears.
*Minutes like Hours you plead and you pray..
*I'll never touch it again..
*Just let me live..one more day..
*Your mind starts to go dark..
*It falls apart piece by piece
*And then you slip into blackness..
*Your pain finally ceased.
*Before you entered that store..
*You should have thought twice..
*For I am the Subtance..that cost you your LIFE.
