Sometimes life it takes you by the hair.

It pulls you down before you know it

It's gone and you're dead again.

I've been in places and I won't pretend

Yeah, I'd make it out just to fall on my head

Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs

Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent

You know that I could not believe my own truth

Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose

Yeah yeah and it's O.K.

I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.

Yeah yeah and I'm alright.

I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.

You know those days when you want to just choose

To not get out of bed, you're lost in your head again.

You play the game but you kind of cut

'Cause you're coming down hard and your joints are all stuck.

I've tried to say that's not the only way

I never knew if I could face myself to change.

You were pacing I was insecure.

Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls, hug the prison I've been living in.

Yeah yeah and it's O.K.

I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.

Yeah yeah and I'm alright.

I took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.
