I've been trying
Running out of reasons
To control myself
And yeah it might have been the drugs
Or their self medicine
Have a toast to your luck
It never changes
Going unconscious
I let them all nod out and back in
As I told myself
That it might just be the way
That it dawned on me
From your arms to the grave
All on paper
I keep thinking
Maybe they were right
And I'm wasting
All my precious time
But I keep riding with the ghost
Just to see if it's true
If I'll become their host
Meet my maker
And you believed them
All the ones you swam out to sea with
Never warned you when
It got cold outside
And the money was marked
Made your heart go dry
Got swept under tide
I'm still breathing
And someday I'll cut all the heartstrings
Just to save myself
Cause when your home's out of sight
I hope you see me to
To what they call my life
Teenage wasteland
I'll make you see it
All the ways you snuck into my head
Tearing holes in my sense
Til the good part of me died
And the trembling stopped
From your rattlesnake bite
And it all went dark
Live for the moment I've been trying Running out of reasons To control myself And yeah it might have been the drugs Or their self medicine Have a toast to your luck It never changes Going unconscious I let them all nod out and back in As I told myself That it might just be the way That it dawned on me From your arms to the grave All on paper I keep thinking Maybe they were right And I'm wasting All my precious time But I keep riding with the ghost Just to see if it's true If I'll become their host Meet my maker And you believed them All the ones you swam out to sea with Never warned you when It got cold outside And the money was marked Made your heart go dry Got swept under tide I'm still breathing And someday I'll cut all the heartstrings Just to save myself Cause when your home's out of sight I hope you see me to To what they call my life Teenage wasteland I'll make you see it All the ways you snuck into my head Tearing holes in my sense Til the good part of me died And the trembling stopped From your rattlesnake bite And it all went dark Explain Request ×
