Hightail

I had it all I gave it up

You're picking diamonds from the rough

I persevered these last few years to make your world keep turning

They all say bad things come in threes

These days my bad deeds grow on trees

I can't believe I dragged my feet this long

It’s quite concerning

We can't keep looking past our problems

Open your eyes admit defeat

Both know that screaming doesn't solve them

We go again and hit repeat

Can’t take time back now was it worth it?

Found my path and I'll unearth it

Slash all my ties and hide away

My own death I faked it

Although it hurts to pretend it was a means to an end

I’m heading to better places

This chokehold I escaped it

Searching for my virtue but its heavily sedated

With any luck I'll kick the bucket

Thought I'd stay a while but fuck it

Lived in fear of missing something

Is she gonna relate?

Or slash my tyres and trash my stuff

And blow it up then call my bluff

And see if I sit and do nothing or just wish it away?

Five A. M I'm seeing double

Poison chugged straight from the bottle

Entrance stamp still on my hand

Held it down but she's still mad

Modesty or vanity from your split personality

You're too blind to see

My own death I faked it

Although it hurts to pretend it was a means to an end

I’m heading to better places

This chokehold I escaped it

Searching for my virtue but its heavily sedated

And that was how the story ended

Refused to put me out when I went up in flames

I guess it's better than pretending

Tried to keep it alight ‘cause you don't feel the same

My own death I faked it
