I saw you in the corner (Damn) I saw you twice It's the liquor That's watching you straight from my eyes Nice and slow I come over to you Tell you all the things that you Wanna hear from me too You've got all the right tunes I'm the one that's lost here You say we spend the day on The beach and we can just play I'm sure you really nice but I can't remember your name And I kinda hate myself for Even being in this place I don't know where I ended up last night I don't know why I can't find her light I don't know where I left my keys Was it with you or were you with me? I'm so sick of this It's ridiculous Think my liver is 'Bout to give in it's Pretty imminent Walls closing in Space limited Anything to fill this hole of emptiness Now I'm onto this Way to cultivate the fake confidence Now, as soon I can drop a Klonopin I just wanna know the stress is gonna end Love the way she make me say "Ah" again Though it's not a man Told my monogram Fly away and stop and then I start again Steady nodding in I'm a goner if I don't find what I've been searching all up in All the bottles in Pretty models in Just a way to leave a step lobotomy Drink or smoke or needle in the artery 'Til my honesty And my modesty Disappear while I'm on this odyssey All I wanna do is see it clear Tryna get to anywhere but here I don't know where I ended up last night I don't know why I can't find her light I don't know where I left my keys Was it with you or were you with me? See I am not wearing the clothes that I left with This is my cup that I made before breakfast I don't know why I don't know I don't know why, ey

One foot in the ground One foot in the grave Don't you dare make a sound, shh Hear you from a mile away Run from the town All you need is your name And the sweat on your brow And the blood running through your veins Don't think twice You'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes From your hands to the heavens Kill your pride Turn your fear to a weapon And don't you forget it Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control And don't you let 'em break your soul It's not the devil at your door It's just your shadow on your floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh One eye on the clock One eye on the mirror Take a step through your thoughts Is it getting clearer? If they follow you whenever night falls Will you still listen to my call Who do you trust to knowing it all? Or knowing it all? Don't think twice You'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes From your hands to the heavens Kill your pride Turn your fear to a weapon And don't you forget it Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control And don't you let 'em break your soul It's not the devil at your door It's just your shadow on your floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Tell me that you hate me Yeah, I heard it all before There is a life here for the taking Is it mine or is it yours? All I am is what you make me You're on both sides of the war It's not the devil that you're facing It's just your shadow on the floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh It's just your shadow on the floor
