They drink to forget their problems
I smoke a joint
They cry and move on when their hearts are broken
I stay itching for my fixture when my joints are broken
If ever their joints get broken they wouldn't be able to live
Neither would I and that's one thing we have in common

With these joints you made feel like I can move mountains
With this knee joint in the future I would kneel and ask you to marry me
But the joy in my joints is no more
The red blood cells die in vein
The cells lose shape of what was once a circle
And what was joined in life I ask if only it can be broken as death do us apart
But now for now
Reality hits me in the eyes and gives back the sight once robbed
So just like any human being
I can't live with broken joints
And just like any stoner
I can't get high on these broken joints

I get high with friends
I get high alone
But getting high with you is a memory I wish to relive
I embrace tightly every thought of you
It is the closest I can be to you lately
And with every pull I take from each joint
I pray that God may pull you right back into my arms
Don't give up on me.... Don't give up on us
Runaway
But I broke my leg once yet today I'm able to chase after you
I'm inlove with you

I ask you this, why can't we
Be joints joined
To experience the joy in joined joints
And be joined joints jointed joyfully?
