Stay high

Gotta stay high

To keep you off my mind

To keep my fears at bay

Keep them from pulling me away

 

If I stay high

Than I forget for a bit

I forget why I was crying

And I forget why I was dying

 

Only when I'm high

Can I feel something

Do I feel alive

But I know that's a lie

 

You make my heart awaken

Shake off the dust and webs

You make my skin warm

Not like ice when I was dead

You give my lungs air

I'm amazed you gave me breath

 

I don't need to be high

I'd rather have you instead
