about

Track 6 off Basement Confessions

lyrics

Lying on the ground with a dried up taste in your mouth
Just sitting there with the wind in your hair and it's beautiful out
Well things fade, yea shit goes away what a shame
Yea things change and then one of these days

When you can't think of any more reasons to live
And you've tired out your brain by thinking about it
And you did so at your health and your heart's expense
And you say to yourself that it will all make sense (well it won't)

But you can get real high
You can get real high
And when you're real high
You'll forget for a while

I never felt so dead or alive at the same time
I never felt so defeated without even trying
I've written too many songs about the same goddamn thing
But that'll never change, yea each day I'll sing

That when you can't think of any more reasons to live
And you've tired out your brain by thinking about it
And you did so at your health and your heart's expense
And you say to yourself that it will all make sense (well it won't)

But you can get real high
You can get real high
And when you're real high
You'll forget for a while
