I got down – dog tired,
dried out – and drunk again.
Was laid out a long time,
lost myself and my friends.
I guess that’s the price you pay
to feel a little better
than you probably deserve
most times.
Got to find a better way
than these masters
I usually serve;
don’t wanna die.
I heard that sun is comin’ soon.
I can finally leave this room
and begin to heal these wounds;
live life alive.
Not hiding away.
Not safe in decay,
just making each moment
and living each day.
Broke it down – build my own
won’t let it all just fade away.
Make stronger – Let go
Half a heart will only failure make.
Learn from my success and my mistakes.
Hold on… to what makes you
Let go… see where it takes you.
Drug out – hard wired
Make it up as I go along.
Wasted too much time already,
now it’s time to move on.
Fixin’ up instead of fixin’ out,
trading death for kinder fortune.
There’s so much left here to figure out,
nothing safe and nothing certain.
HG – 2000-2005
