Take Away the Pain

Take away the pain And let me fly away Take away the pain And let me fly away This is a last dance My last chance To get it right At first glance You might think my life looks nice But if you look a little closer I walk on thin ice I'm one slip from death Twelve steps from paradise A young america, riddled from Defects of character A reject, caught in the web Of mass hysteria I pray for the world to change I've seen my friends Killed in pain One fix from the end One drink from insane I'm stained I'm lost with my brain broke Comes second from smoked outs To livin' the great hopes So if your gonna save me Better save me now I'm an escape artist With no escape I need a way out My life is way out The same old played out Stuck on the same route So I'm takin' a leap of faith Hopin' I win this race Hopin' this time I'm blessed And don't miss Cause I know and God knows I really worked hard for this [Chorus] Now when I get away from trouble I go lookin' for more Takin' two steps back From the bridge to the shore Tryin' to hustle muscles sore From doin the devil's chores Runnin' from my problems Every gettin' to the door Been runnin' 'round in circles Down a dead end roads I don't know where I'm going But I act like I know Borrowin' money To pay back what I owe My head's a three-ring circus I'm a one man show Another tatooed freak I was born in the jar I was meant to be a sick confused Loser rock star So who's the puppet master I went from county jail To an open night disaster Livin' faster gettin' faster Now mamma's on the front porch Sippin' on some wine When daddys in his office And he's choppin' up some limes My sister's in the backyard Smokin' on the green My brother's in the basement Cookin' methamphetamine [Chorus] These thoughts collected I'm tryin' to alter my perspective I'm commin' to a hault And to stop is my objective Time is runnin' out My luck is runnin' thin I stuggled too long not to win Or die tryin' I see the clock tickin' My entire time is flyin' I'm smilin' at defeats till Inside I'm cryin' Lookin' at the sky Askin' why I can't live A simple life its a lie To say the grass ain't Greener on the other side A poor excuse for heaven sent Cause I can't climb the fence No matter how hard I try I'm wrapped in barbbed-wire Wonderin' who's on my side Rusty knives in my back there's No where left for me to hide I'm wrapped up in sin So I'm in for a ride I'd commit suicide But I don't want to die I'm sick of gettin' high And I'm sick of these games There's not enough drugs to take To take away the pain Take away the pain, and let me fly away Take away the pain, and let me fly away Take away the pain, and let me fly away Take away the pain, and let me fly away
