lyrics

Woke up this morning with a familiar state of mind.
Reminisced in a daze, skipped the shower and shave,
Then I wrote the journal lies.
I asked myself, “What else could help to forget all about last night?”
But it’s just a matter of when I’m gonna do it again.
Why wait and til’ what time?

Ran fast to catch the cab that I called to pick me up.
By the time I paid, I was running late.
Guess you could call it both our faults.
I wasn’t thinking at the time about anything and I didn’t mind going to work.
When I get home I’ll have plenty of time to reflect on everything I didn’t learn.

I’ll have plenty of time to learn.
I’ll create so many crime scenes before I get hurt,
I love to set off the alarms then hide.

So subtle like a meeting in a parking lot wondering what he gave to you.
Big trouble like waiting for a guy who’s got greedy hands and a bad attitude.
I have never been so paranoid, seeing shadows in my room again.
I remember hanging out with all my boys thinking, “these aren’t my real friends”
Some would leave, some I’d see once a week, maybe.
But I was there until the end.
Some would lie and even steal from each other. That never made any sense.

I’ll drive far from what is chasing me tonight.
It won’t devour me in just one bite, I’m ignoring crosswalks and stop signs!
Speeding right through every color of light, fasten your seat belts and close your eyes.
Hit every speed bump to help us take flight.
Hope I never come down from this high. Enough said….
