My fate or the monster, you know I’m scared
I might be worried and you’re not there
But I search for a reason, find the excuse
You know I’m willing and I like the abuse

In the face of you leaving, light of the moon
Know where I’m heading, nothing to lose, yeah

I know the feeling when I get too high
Then I get too high and I head for a breakdown
I’ve got it, then I get too high, when I get too high
And I head for a breakdown

Enslaved by the demons, hung from the noose
I’m in no hurry, how ‘bout you?
As I search for the meaning, hunt for the truth
You aren’t worried if I’m any good

When the worst is relieving, when there’s no use
Know where I’m heading, nothing to lose, yeah

I know the feeling when I get too high
Then I get too high and I head for a breakdown
I’ve got it, then I get too high, when I get too high
And I head for a breakdown

I know the feeling when I get too high
Then I get too high and I head for a breakdown
I’ve got it, then I get too high, when I get too high
And I head for a breakdown

I know the feeling when I get too high
When I get too high and I head for a breakdown
