Take Away the Pain

[00:14.49] take away the pain
[00:18.35] and let me fly away
[00:24.66] take away the pain
[00:28.21] and let me fly away
[00:34.68] this is the last dance
[00:35.57] my last chance
[00:36.79] to get it right
[00:37.61] at first glance
[00:38.50] you might think my life looks nice
[00:39.42] but if you look a little closer
[00:41.29] i walk on thin ice
[00:42.16] im one slip from death
[00:44.02] twelve steps from paradise
[00:44.93] im young america, riddled with
[00:46.75] defects of character
[00:47.60] a reject, caught in the web
[00:49.41] of mas-histeria
[00:50.34] i pray for the world to change
[00:51.20] i've seen my friends
[00:52.24] killed in pain
[00:53.12] one fix from the end
[00:54.07] one drink from insane
[00:54.91] im stained
[00:55.83] im lost with my brain broke
[00:56.72] comes second from smoked outs
[00:57.63] to livin' the great hopes
[00:58.51] so if your gonna save me
[01:00.34] better save me now
[01:01.28] im an escape artist
[01:02.10] with no escape
[01:03.18] i need a way out
[01:04.08] my life is way out
[01:04.95] the same old played out
[01:06.84] stuck on the same route
[01:07.79] so im takin' a leap of faith
[01:08.64] hopin' i win this race
[01:09.71] hopin' this time im blessed
[01:11.89] and dont miss
[01:12.76] cause i know and God knows
[01:13.62] i really worked hard for this
[01:15.52] take away the pain
[01:19.14] and let me fly away
[01:25.48] take away the pain
[01:29.14] and let me fly away
[01:35.48] now when i get away from trouble
[01:36.34] i go lookin' for more
[01:38.14] takin' two steps back
[01:39.09] from the bridge to the shore
[01:39.99] tryin' to hustle muscles sore
[01:41.85] from doin the devil's chores
[01:42.74] runnin' from my problems
[01:44.51] never gettin' to the door
[01:45.43] been runnin' 'round in circles
[01:47.26] down a dead end roads
[01:48.15] i dont know where i'm going
[01:49.05] but i act like i know
[01:50.90] borrowin' money
[01:51.86] to pay back what I owe
[01:52.70] my head's a three-ring circus
[01:54.59] Im a one man show
[01:55.46] another tatooed freak
[01:57.38] i was born in the jar
[01:58.27] i was bred to be a sick confused
[01:59.12] loser rock star
[02:00.92] so who's the puppet master
[02:01.87] i went from county jail
[02:02.76] to an over night disaster
[02:04.74] livin' faster and gettin' faster
[02:05.66] now mamma's on the front porch
[02:07.41] sippin' on some wine
[02:08.36] while daddys in his office
[02:09.28] and he's choppin' up some lines
[02:11.06] my sister's in the backyard
[02:11.95] smokin' on them greens
[02:13.73] my brother's in the basement
[02:14.65] cookin' methamphetamine
[02:15.50] take away the pain
[02:20.08] and let me fly away
[02:25.54] take away the pain
[02:29.09] and let me fly away
[02:35.43] these thoughts collected
[02:37.28] i'm tryin' to alter my perspective
[02:38.12] I'm commin' to a hault
[02:40.06] and to stop is my objective
[02:40.95] time is runnin' out
[02:41.86] my luck is runnin' thin
[02:43.82] i stuggled too long not to win
[02:44.75] or die tryin'
[02:46.53] i see the clock tickin'
[02:47.42] my entire time is flyin'
[02:48.34] I'm smilin' at defeats till
[02:50.10] inside im cryin'
[02:51.00] lookin' at the sky
[02:51.91] askin' why i cant live
[02:53.92] a simple life its a lie
[02:54.83] to try to say the grass aint
[02:55.79] greener on the other side
[02:56.78] a poor excuse for heaven sent
[02:57.87] cause i cant climb the fence
[02:59.95] no matter how hard i try
[03:00.80] im wrapped in barbbed-wire
[03:02.73] wonderin' who's on my side
[03:03.64] rusty knives in my back there's
[03:05.46] no where left for me to hide
[03:06.39] I'm wrapped up in sin
[03:07.28] so im in for a ride
[03:09.10] I'd commit suicide
[03:10.09] but i dont wanna die
[03:11.46] I'm sick of gettin' high
[03:11.94] and im sick of these games
[03:13.89] there's not enough drugs to take
[03:15.69] to take away the pain
[03:16.53] take away the pain, and let me fly away
[03:26.40] take away the pain, and let me fly away
[03:37.36] take away the pain, and let me fly away
[03:47.29] take away the pain, and let me fly away
[03:58.97]
