Powder Lyrics
Lying soaked in sweat tonight
Your knuckles white, you try to fight
The need for more to get you by
You've had enough, you wonder why
Even now your body cries
For chemicals to blind your eyes
I wonder can you stay this high when the cells being to die
Forever
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Swallowed like the medicine
That's broken down my happy friend
I wonder if he'll let me in
If I come to see him when
He's better, no
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
There's power in the powder dissolving your guts
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Your knuckles white, you try to fight
The need for more to get you by
You've had enough, you wonder why
Even now your body cries
For chemicals to blind your eyes
I wonder can you stay this high when the cells being to die
Forever
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
That's broken down my happy friend
I wonder if he'll let me in
If I come to see him when
He's better, no
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down

I like this alot ... I never get tired/bored of it. I fell in love with them (Yellowcard) when I seen the video for "Ocean Avenue" . The video is great and goes along with the song well. I love the violin (sp?) too. They're just a great band .... gotta love 'em!
If i remember right, Oxycontin is an extremely addictive pain killer.
O! Sounds like gr8 lyrics! Can't wait 4 the EP! I love Yellowcard so much! They are by fare the most gr8est band ever to come around! Ryan is such a gr8 lyric artest and a gr8 artest in every way possible!:) ~AmBeR*
this song is very good i would say great but um yeah you said that a few times. I saw them live and they played this song, it was really good.
Umm..I have a feeling this song is about COKE> or drugs
yeh, this song is pretty damn good, i've seen them live a couple times, i definatly like these lyrics alot more than "One for the Kids"
Awesome, extremely melodic song. A song about drug addiction and the subsequent fall from grace that comes from substance abuse. Ryan from Yellowcard prefaces this song live by saying that it's about "Oxycoton".
what style of music is yellowcard?
I was thinking the same thing XxPoisonTheWellxX was thinking...perhaps this is a drug song? But, I still love Yellowcard...they put on a great show.
how can you possibly only THINK it's about drugs?! its overly obvious. it's such a great song. one of those ones i could listen to all day and not get sick of it.
