You know the place you were born and the place you call home ain't always the same thing.
Just like what most people want to hear and the songs that we love to sing.
Well the doubt covers me like a blanket of smoke but i shrug it right off whilst i try not to choke
Is life just one big fucking joke well I hope soon i get it.
So baby I'm chasing memories down to the bottom of a bottle
And i think tonight I'll take my bad habits for a ride and duct tape my hand to the throttle
Well eventually I'm gonna crash n' burn and knowing myself only then will I learn
That there's just somethings in life you cant control!
Are there bats in the belfry? Or is this what you'd call a "period of adjustment"
Would you be so kind as to pass me that oil can, my joints they seem to be all rusted
Just like a tin man who's forgotten how to be all alone but the wiz ain't got nothing for me
Besides I ain't looking for my heart I know exactly who has it
So baby I'm chasing memories down to the bottom of a bottle
And i think tonight I'll take my bad habits for a ride and duct tape my hand to the throttle
Well eventually I'm gonna crash n' burn and knowing myself only then will I learn
That there's just somethings in life you cant control!
It was 2012 we were making a stand hand in hand and for freedom your eyes did demand
Better than your lips could have done that's when I knew that you were the one
But the doubt it returned and the smoke then it burned and it filled up my lungs there to stay
Was my reluctance to suffocate that has led me astray.
So baby I'm chasing memories down to the bottom of a bottle
And i think tonight I'll take my bad habits for a ride and duct tape my hand to the throttle
Well eventually I'm gonna crash n' burn and knowing myself only then will I learn
That there's just somethings in life you cant control!
Well I slip and I slip Oh, I can't get my grip
And defeat only comes in failure to resist
May our spirits be only as high as our fists!
