lyrics

Leave life under a veil
Leave it concealed
Don't wanna throw that snake in the fire

If I sat here getting higher, I should be getting paid by the hour
Then I'd never of walked away
Bad I didn't stay

People walking by all going down to the game
I dropped a dollar and found one so thats kind of the same
When I walked away the fire had dissolved all my years back then
I need to redesign and try to see you where I can

There is no other way for you to get used to my life
I need you out before I cave right in

There is no other way for you to get used to my mind
She said but he was ready for the door
If I sat here getting higher I should be getting paid by the hour
Then I'd never of walked away
Bad I didn't stay

People walking by all going down to the game
I dropped a dollar then found one so thats kind of the same

There is no other way for you to get used to my mind
He said but she was already outta the door
