Hockey 2 Hell & Back

Hockey was my life, rookie of the year.
Swift as a bronco, laced up in my gear
Masked my pain, went insane, yearning for that buzz

12 year journey through the depths of hell,
Criminal, fentanyl, I struggled I fell,
cbused, confused, a shadow of who I was

Can't sleep, restless, weak.
Up all night adrenaline peak
Need to get my life here back on track.

I used to toe drag them like Wayne Gretzky,
Now I'm toe tagged, homeless on hastings.
Intravenous drugs weren't in the game notes

Wrong kinda high to ride the lightning.
Psych ward, ignored, heightened and frightened
Hockey to hell and back was my recovery road.

Can't sleep, restless, weak.
Up all night adrenaline peak
Need to get my life here back on track.
Emotions drained, can't stop crying.
cccept my reflection
There's no sense lyin'
Gotta believe in, hockey to hell and back
Yeah hockey to hell and back.

Mental health over hockey, gotta get people talkin'
Ignite the change, up our game, pain is real but so is hope

Game changers from my former convictions
Now I live for my puck addiction.
Got honest to honour the ones we lost.

Finally doing what I'm meant to do.
Strap on you blades you can follow me too
Stitch in the names into my brain makin' the memories last

High on life, I won't stop tryin'
My mind is sharp, hit the ice flyin'
I finally got my life here back on track.
Mental health scouting report
Recruiting for the puck support
Gotta believe in hockey to hell and back.
Gotta believe in hockey to hell and back.
Gotta believe, believe, believe...ya!
