I promise you there's times I'm not so sad Some days the good will even out the bad I know I'm married to my problems It's always in my head And I'm destined for greatness or death Destined for greatness or death I need another drug Sickness is in season

If it takes a lifetime I got too far from my raising, I forgot where I come from And the line between right and wrong was so fine Well I thought the highway loved me But she beat me like a drum My day will come, if it takes a lifetime I've been working

So much that it hurts All I know is that I love you so Got a tattoo that said "together through life" Carved in your name with my poker knife And you wonder when you wake up, will it be alright oh oh Feels like there's something broken inside Is that in

Am I going crazy? Come on and say in taste Am I too lost to face it? And what will it cost to escape? Nothing is right I'm so scared

For me it ain't real It's fools gold There too many fools sold Not an excuse oh She sits home and dreams That her man will leave his mark on her hand He's not all he seems But she's seen a dress, she has the flowers planned

In my convictions I've found my own grave But amongst the dead we all fade away Fading back into an anodyne sea For once I have stood no one will know But alone I was born and alone we must go Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone None of this

And I'm a man of my word, that I got nothing at all So tell me now does it hurt, or is it too late? I'm a man of my law, I gotta keep my weight up But who will lean if I fall? But never mind, I'm fly, you know She the type to seek love and make it

I'm trying not to stare, it's too late The blankets over there, if you like I'm broken and I'm colder than hell I should've said I'd not come back here Your breakfast will get cold I really have to go It's easier to lie and be safe Time and time again

I will love you unconditionally Unconditional, unconditionally Let go and just be free There is no fear now Open up your heart, and just let it begin I will love you Oh no, did I get too close oh? Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside? All

This will always be my home No poison in my bones This is where I build my home This took my life to make I need someone to hold Lonely thoughts, They seep into mind, into me
