Mornin' feels like a drag
When you're all messed up
Ain't got nobody
To pick you up
And your phone's not ringing
Like it used to do
All those you thought your friends
Well, they've turned on you

Like a stone, you've thrown your life to times of
Fancy and of flight
It's a lie

It's a lie
So you believe what they say?
With all their gilded praise
You string up your accolades
And string up your veins
They like to push you up
But they won't let you go
They keep a tight, keep a tight, keep a tight hold on you
Just to let you know

That they'll always be your lover
And never, never know the crime
It's a lie

Break me down to blood and sweat
(It's a lie)
Monkey blood and junkie spit
(It's a lie)
Elevate my pedestal
(It's a lie)

Touch me, baby
Does anybody want me?
Feel me, baby, I still got that same feelin' on the inside

Hear me now
Does anybody hear me?
Remember me, yeah
Remember me, remember me, yeah

(solo)

And you think back to the times
When you never ever could get too high
It's a lie

Break me down to blood and sweat
(It's a lie)
Monkey blood and junkie spit
(It's a lie)
Elevate my pedestal
(It's a lie)

I wanna take you higher
(don't bring me down)
I wanna take you higher
(don't bring me down)
I wanna take you higher
(don't bring me down)
I wanna take you higher
(don't bring me down)
I wanna take you higher
(don't bring me down)

Same thing you that makes you laugh'll make you cry
Same thing you need to live can make you die
