about
A song about giving up what's not good for you
lyrics
I tried my best just to give up
I cut it right to the bone
But still the fear comes to find me
Late at night all alone
When your fortune has faded
You need some help through the days
Something to roll up in paper
Something to shoot in the veins
You tried your best
but couldn't seem to help the fall
You're too plugged in
Each day your smile feels like a mask a little more
But I was heading for a breakdown
With no help coming
I was living in a nightmare
For too long
In a state of paranoia
I kept on running
But the poison kept on pumping
it had been too long
It took a stranger to tell me
I should consider my health
He said you're paying the entrance
To spend your days here in hell
I tried my best to deny it
Said preach to somebody else
I never received an answer
And maybe that's just as well
You tried your best
but couldn't seem to help the fall
You're too plugged in
Each day your smile feels like a mask a little more
But I was heading for a breakdown
With no help coming
I was living in a nightmare
For too long
In a state of paranoia
I kept on running
But the poison kept on pumping
it had been too long
Heading for a breakdown
You tried your best
but couldn't seem to help the fall
You're too plugged in
Each day your smile feels like a mask a little more
But I was heading for a breakdown
With no help coming
I was living in a nightmare
For too long
In a state of paranoia
I kept on running
But the poison kept on pumping
it had been too long
I cut it right to the bone
But still the fear comes to find me
Late at night all alone
When your fortune has faded
You need some help through the days
Something to roll up in paper
Something to shoot in the veins
You tried your best
but couldn't seem to help the fall
You're too plugged in
Each day your smile feels like a mask a little more
But I was heading for a breakdown
With no help coming
I was living in a nightmare
For too long
In a state of paranoia
I kept on running
But the poison kept on pumping
it had been too long
It took a stranger to tell me
I should consider my health
He said you're paying the entrance
To spend your days here in hell
I tried my best to deny it
Said preach to somebody else
I never received an answer
And maybe that's just as well
You tried your best
but couldn't seem to help the fall
You're too plugged in
Each day your smile feels like a mask a little more
But I was heading for a breakdown
With no help coming
I was living in a nightmare
For too long
In a state of paranoia
I kept on running
But the poison kept on pumping
it had been too long
Heading for a breakdown
You tried your best
but couldn't seem to help the fall
You're too plugged in
Each day your smile feels like a mask a little more
But I was heading for a breakdown
With no help coming
I was living in a nightmare
For too long
In a state of paranoia
I kept on running
But the poison kept on pumping
it had been too long
