Not the one

about

I wrote this song in a rehabilitation clinic, trying to come to grips with what they had just put me through, cold turkey, alone , locked in a room with huge giant Congolese man eyeballing me 24/7.
When I Finally got out the room after a week, I found out it was in a scientology rehab. Big shock. My friend who booked me in out of love didn't know and he just got sucked into their slick sales pitch as you know they do. They prey on the desperate people who want to help their friend, son, daughter or wife, or whoever it is.
These rehabs basically 'steal' peoples money in the hope that their loved one will be 'cured'. They flash statistics at them saying 98% success rate, and its all lies!
Thats why I wrote this song.

lyrics

Wasted living dead,
alive by God's good grace,
Craving self destruct,
you've crossed the line,
You're fucked

(chorus)
I'am not the one you want,
Let go and face ny pain,
The world is on my wings,
Have it lay beneath my feet

Fallen laid to rest,
you're planning your last breath,
Facing you confront,
you're hanging on you're loved...
