Woooo woooo section
Sometimes life it takes you by the hand
It puts you down before you know it
It's gone and you're dead again
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I make it I just
Follow my head
When it's strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep you all up on a corner
And pay for my bread
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what a truth
Got nothing to lose
Yeah yeah and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair
So I don't fall that way
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison
But I'll hold on tight
(same as verse 1)
You know those days when you wanted to choose
To not get out of bed and
Get lost in your head again
You play the game but you gotta cut
Cuz' you're coming down hard
Your joints are off stud
I tried to say that's not the only way
I never knew if I could
Convince myself to change
You were pacing I was insecure
Slip and fall I got the calls of the
Prison I was living in
Yeah yeah and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair
So I don't fall that way
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poison
But I'll hold on tight
