A Different High

Pompous pretentious put another one down
Arrogance ignorance slam another one down
How blitzed and blinded do you have to get
To hide the fear and anguish that you’re trying to forget

How many times are you gonna tear
At the threads of friendship till they can no longer bear
The weight of this stupidity
Your self-destructive insanity

Hit me in rage one more time
I’ll turn the other cheek its fine
What if I was like you, or
What if I returned it and more
But I don’t follow your way
No eye for eye, I see a different way

I don’t want to flirt with the evil inside
I won’t let it destroy me and die
I don’t smoke my happiness
I don’t drink away my stress
I want this perfect control
I feel this joy without something controlled

You’ve hit the wall so many times
Full force ahead you run again this time
Do I have to pick you up again
Every time, here we go again
This dangerous game you play against yourself
You should be scared when you start to lose yourself

Let go of this charade
You don’t have to be the center of this demonic parade
Step off their stage
Give it up, follow me and get out of your cage

I don’t have all the answers to your questions of life and death
I can’t give you meaning for each of your precious breaths
But I know who can and as hard as it may seem
He knows because He gave you all your hopes and dreams
So trust in Him to give them life
This kind of love is what gets me high
