[intro]
They said I'd never make it, I was
They told me I was crazy, of pure insanity

[verse 1]
Been gone for 3 years chasing a dream (dream)
Turn into a nightmare
Learned nothing ever is what it really seems (seems)
Life doesn't fight fair
Can't sleep without pills, my habits are killing me
Limit me to one vice and I'll be fine
Every time I think I got a grasp on my life
It slips away from me and now I all have is...time
I must be crazy
A fine line between being patient and being lazy
'Nother get together, don't want to show up
Tired of the looks like when you gon grow up
He has a new job and a new wife
And he also just bought a brand new house
But I bet if you asked him about his brand new life
He'd trade it with mine with no doubt

[hook]
The lights are flashing, this life got me catching a disease
But none of it matters to me
I got the lights flashing, but I keep myself at 98 degrees
But none of it really matters to me

[verse 2]
Different isn't better
And we're better off not better than
Took some time to figure that out
So who I used to be isn't who I am
It doesn't make a difference
People make you do time for your past crimes
And they do it with persistence
Then they try to make distance
When they know deep down there isn't much of a difference
Been an outcast since way back
Doesn't faze me in the least
So when I try to make a new path
I want to relapse and revert back to the same old theme
Some say degenerate addict
Most say a good guy with high ambition
Perception's the enemy of the truth
And reality seems to be a big omission
If you quantify success with a dollar amount
You can count on failure
And if the safe bet is never making a bet
Than I'd say that's one hell of a wager
Might as well double down, turn your luck around
It sounds enticing
You might feel whole while you're chasing the gold
But really it's your soul that you're pricing

[bridge]
To take the high road always comes with a toll
May the change you use to pay never come with your soul
To take the high road always comes with a toll
May the change you use to pay never come with your soul
