    Story Behind the Song
    The abuse of the prescription pain killer OxyContin (OC) has become a modern day epidemic in young adults 18-35. An over-the -counter narcotic, OC is an extremely efficient pain killer used in the treatment of cancer. When abused, it is highly addictive. The DEA has said that the abuse of OC has grown faster than any other prescription medicine in 20 years. Its use has been a factor in over 400 deaths in youths since January 2000. In recent news, abuse of OC has gained national attention with features on MTV's "True Life: I'm Hooked on OxyContin" and NBC News' magazine -Dateline.

    Lyrics
    EVERYTIME I WAKE
    YOU TAKE ME FURTHER FROM GOD
    I'M CONSUMED WITH GUILT
    WHILE YOU INVADE MY THOUGHTS
    TEAR IN EYE, YOU COME TO ME
    I GIVE ADVICE BUT YOU'RE NOT RECEIVING
    YOU SACRIFICE, YOUR INTEGRITY
    YOU OFFER LIES, I'M NOT BELIEVING

    YOU SWORE TO GOD THAT YOU'D NEVER LEAVE
    THEN YOU SOLD OUT ANYWAY
    YOU HAD IT ALL BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE
    SO YOU SOLD OUT ANYWAY

    ALL THE LIVING WASTED
    CLIMBING WALLS IN THE DARK
    EVEN IF YOU COULD STOP
    IT’S TOO LATE TO START
    COVERED EYES, PRAY FOR SLEEP
    YOU WALK AROUND WITHOUT SEEING
    THE PROMISES YOU MEANT TO KEEP
    ARE NOTHING MORE THAN WOUNDS NOT HEALING

    YOU SWORE TO GOD THAT YOU'D NEVER LEAVE
    THEN YOU SOLD OUT ANYWAY
    YOU HAD IT ALL BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE
    SO YOU SOLD OUT ANYWAY

    I'LL FORGIVE BUT I CAN'T FORGET
    THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THE WAY YOU LET ME DOWN

    CHORUS

    YOU SWORE TO GOD WHAT YOU SWORE TO ME
    THEN YOU SOLD OUT ANYWAY
    YOU HAD IT ALL BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE
    BUT YOU SOLD OUT ANYWAY
