Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back again, I'm holed up
In the waiting room again
Focused on the empty
Getting underneath my skin
[Verse 2]
How do I keep it?
How do I keep it here?
[Verse 3]
Look at how the time flies
Burning daylight to the ground
Wash away the ashes
Gonna quiet my head down
[Verse 4]
How do I keep it?
How do I keep it here?
[Verse 5]
'Cause I wanna get high
But you're keepin' me low
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
I've had too much to think
I wanna get high
But you're takin' me down-down-down
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
I've had too much to think
[Verse 6]
Illuminate the shadows
And try to keep the light within (Keep the light within)
Avoid another battle
And forget what might have been
[Verse 7]
How do I keep it?
How do I keep it here?
[Verse 8]
'Cause I wanna get high
But you're keepin' me low
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
I've had too much to think
I wanna get high (I wanna get high)
But you're takin' me down-down-down
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
I've had too much to think
[Verse 9]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
I've had too much to think
[Verse 10]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA
See the faces of the people as they run away
It's a permanent made distraction, the modern reaction
The people don't have to feel the dissatisfaction
It's a slow journey up, but a quick ride on down
And nobody here, knowin' their way around
From the top of the world, every which way is down
And who's gonna take the crown?
[Verse 11]
'Cause I wanna get high (I wanna get high)
But you're keeping me low (But you're keepin' me low)
I don't got time to waste or time to kill
I've had too much to think
I wanna get high (I wanna get high)
But you're takin' me down-down-down
Don't got time to waste or time to kill
I've had too much to think
[Verse 12]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
I've had too much to think
