Sitting back I leave them all behind
For the poison that I like

Maybe someday I’ll take your advice
Maybe once I might think twice

All my days they break and end at the same time
With the streetlights out it’s easier to hide
All the world is awake and grafting on the grind
Another perfect day with the poison that I like
You can fight me with your reason
And I can show you my hand but as I rise to my feet
I fall where I stand
They can put me on a record
A parade on your TV
And I’ll rise to the occasion
As I fall to my knees
My knees
All my days they break and end at the same time
With the streetlights out it’s easier to hide
All the world is awake and grafting on the grind
Another perfect day with the poison that I like
Another perfect day with the poison that I like
