lyrics

I am god, I am king
I am everything you want me to be
You were weak, you were strong
You got everything that’s right or wrong
They give me everything, they take it back
They keep me busy, running around this racetrack

Only words bring lonelier things
Only lords bring holy wars
There’s some sense but there’s no common
Everything is planted and nothing is rotten
Grab your shoes, grab your hat
Head down that road to your lonesome shack

Ooh I leave me out to dry
Hanging myself up, waiting to decide
Is it worth it to get high?
I don’t want no one to say
Is it worth it anyway?
What does it all mean today?
It gets so hard just to find
A simple means to justify
Where’s my mind, and who am I?
Who am I?

That cup’s half empty, no it’s half full
That all depends on who’s carrying the soul
I’m drinking wine, I’m drinking whiskey
I’m drinking everything that gets me tipsy
I get high to remind myself
That I’m dying or I’m lying down easy

I wish I knew what I was doing
Where I was going or what I am pursuing
It’s so confusing, yet so amusing
I won the battle but the war I’m losing
Help me now, help me please
Help me get on my feet and off my knees

C’mon, c’mon
Let’s get lost and leave our bodies behind
To a place where no one else can find
Grab my hand, I’ll lead you to this land
Where our souls can dance in the moonlight
Dance in the moonlight

Ooh I leave me out to dry
Hanging myself up, waiting to decide
Is it worth it to get high?
I don’t want no one to say
Is it worth it anyway?
What does it all mean today?
It gets so hard just to find
A simple means to justify
Where’s my mind, and who am I?
Who am I?
