Back again I'm holed up

In the waiting room again

Focused on the empty

Getting underneath my skin.

How do I keep it?

How do I keep it here?

Look at how the time flies

Burning daylight to the ground

Wash away the ashes

Gonna quiet my head down.

How do I keep it?

How do I keep it here?

'cause I wanna get high

But you're keeping 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 taking me down down down

Don't got time to waste or time to kill

I've had too much to think.

Illuminate the shadow

And try to keep the light within (keep the light within)

Avoid another battle

And forget what might have been.

How do I keep it?

How do I keep it here?

'cause I wanna get high

But you're keeping 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 taking me down down down

Don't got time to waste or time to kill

I've had too much to think.

Oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

I've had too much to think.

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 knowing their way around

From the top of the world every which way is down

And who's gonna take the crown?

'cause I wanna get high (I wanna get high)

But you're keeping me low (but you're keeping 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 taking me down down down

Don't got time to waste or time to kill

I've had too much to think.

Oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

Oh oh oh oh oh oh...

I've had too much to think.
