Hey turn around man I'm gonna take you downtown

You wanna grab the sac go ahead and do it

My fear and doubt is set in place by a lie

I glorify you that's the only way of life yeah

I take the shake and slowly surely dissipating

You're the wrinkles on my face, they will run my old age

I try to understand you throwing men away

All your talent down the drain, and it just makes perfect sense

When I look you in the eyes it takes me right back

Yeah your future helps me move on from my dark past

Don't give in

It's not real

You don't have a choice

Choose to feel!

Your words insane that old me if I was left brained

I could understand all your phony logic

I was indifferent I saw the first time come on back

Come on back, Come on back, to be in your life

And then it's hard when the local keeps on moving

Got some money and some change, just to wait for my train

I try to stop me now I'm locked and engaged

Come on back, Come on back

Come on back and leave your pain

When I look you in the eyes it takes me right back

Yeah your future has me move on from my darkness

Don't give in

It's not real

You don't have a choice

Choose to feel

We found you laying in your hotel room

With your bible tied up because you were up to no good

You started shaking, you were in your bed

Doing everything we could, just hoping that your not dead

We dragged you out and threw you into our car

Pushed the pedal to the floor and drove to the hospital yard

They brought you in and told us both to wait

I was praying to myself, it's not to late

There are consequences (for your actions)

There are consequences (it's real life)

There are consequences (you can't escape from them)

There are consequences
