Don't blow smoke - be honest about what really matters to you.

lyrics

Don’t get me high....

I never realized I had my own power to make it rain on a sunny day. Bright light in a burning shower. I’m watching all the love wash away. You thought I was your savior. You thought you knew me well. So you put your arms around me and I dragged you into Hell. I don’t mind that you say you believe in God or Heaven or the Will to Achieve. But what’s the point of making nothing worse when you put all your faith in God because you can’t stand Earth.

You didn’t need to have faith in the world, just faith in me. Yeah.

Don’t get me high....

I do not want to be someone else’s fantasy. In your head what you see I guarantee will not be me. I am the loudest whisper. I am the silent scream. I am the living illusion in your every waking dream. My breath comes from my dying, my death from being alive. I travel without moving and disappear when I arrive.

Don’t get me high....

You didn’t need to have faith in the world, just faith in me. Yeah.

Don’t try to name me. Don’t try to claim me. Don’t try to game me. Don’t get me high. Don’t try to name me. Don’t try to claim me. Don’t try to shame me. Don’t get me high.

Don’t get me high....

You didn’t need to have faith in the world, just faith in me. Yeah.

One day all of this will be a memory....

Don’t get me high....
