How long can i carry on like this?
Hiding in clouds of smoke, Where is the real you?
Where is the courage to face these days without putting your mind in a cloudy haze?
We all need an escape from time to time, but I've been running forever.
So I'm drawing a line.
Starting to to ask myself why?
Why do I have to get high just to feel normal?
I hit the bottle 'cause it helps me to get by.
I drown my sorrows 'cause it's easier than staring down my demons, but I'm running out of excuses, I'm running out of reasons.
Shot after shot you go straight from the bottle.
The world can wait while you poison your mind.
Stumble around like there will be no tomorrow, 'cause each day's harder than the one before.
Some drink for approval and some to forget, but it's been weeks since you've been sober and you're starting to sweat.
Why do I have to get high just to feel normal?
I hit the bottle 'cause it helps me to get by.
I drown my sorrows 'cause it's easier than staring down my demons, but I'm running out of excuses, I'm running out of reasons.
You're facing the truth and it's harder to swallow.
The consequence of being selfish and shallow.
Feels like I've wasted another day.
Another night out getting wasted.
Another day stuck in this room, not wanting to leave my bed.
I've got a head filled with drugs, a heart filled with hate.
I need to change my ways before it's too late.
Why do I have to get high just to feel normal?
I hit the bottle 'cause it helps me to get by.
I drown my sorrows 'cause it's easier than staring down my demons, but I'm running out of excuses, running out of reasons.
