lyrics

Let go of my hand
You don't understand
The people I've been facing
Their faces I've been tracing
Go to the bar
Get yourself another drink
Try not to blink before they serve you
They've got way to make you pay
They've got vibes to make you stay
They've got a trigger on your brain
They say it keeps you sane
But you know better keep your head
And heed the words that I've said
We will all end up dead
If you keep going

I did my time trying to make sense of the world
With this pocket full of words
And this jacket full of lies
We're all creatures in disguise

I did my time trying to find the good and bad
In this maze, it makes me mad
With a blindfold on my eyes
We're all creatures in disguise

Chase that feeling
Looks like somebody here is dealing
Healing up the broken socialites
They can't survive without emotions
Fueled by poison party potions
And their everyday commotions spilling out
Take to the street
Get on your feet and dance
With every girl in France
Let's all get lost in romance
We've got no blood on our hands
If we meet all their demands
We'll just be part of the crowd in the stands

I did my time trying to make sense of the world
With this pocket full of words
And this jacket full of lies
We're all creatures in disguise

I did my time trying to find the good and bad
In this maze, it makes me mad
With a blindfold on my eyes
We're all creatures in disguise

The stretched out singer trying to rhyme
The pretty lady on the sign
The loaded junkie feeling fine
The thinker in his thoughts sublime
The teenage waster in his prime
Every body of man kind
Every soul without a mind
It might be yours it might be mine

We're all doing time.
