Body hanging on the verge

My life for the taking

My thoughts a sentimental curse

Oh, ain't no mistaking

The greenest grass will turn to dirt

It's all in the tasting

I burn the grabba leaf and tell my lady honestly

I won't be too long, I'm on my way home

The rising smoke is choking me, but I'm on my way home

My mind it wanders while I wonder just how much you know

I'm looking down at what I left and just how much I stole

But I been here

Been here the whole time

She's in my ear

Despite my closed mind

Under my skin

Behind my closed eyes

The prayers and incense burning

Ain't gon' stop you hurting

Drinking my own power

Get that high from myself

It's me and myself

She might wait for hours while I stare down this ledge

Down this ledge

I won't be too long, I'm on my way home

The rising smoke is choking me, but I'm on my way home

My mind it wanders while I wonder just how much you know

I'm looking down at what I left and just how much I stole

But I been here

Been here the whole time

She's in my ear

Despite my closed mind

Under my skin

Behind my closed eyes

The prayers and incense burning

Ain't gon' stop

'Cause I been here

Been here the whole time

She's in my ear

Despite my closed mind

Under my skin

Behind my closed eyes

The prayers and incense burning

Ain't gon' stop you–

Eyes can't hide

Then real life takes over

Feel minds change

Highs come down

Now

Maybe I'm sober

But I been here

Been here the whole time

She's in my ear

Despite my closed mind

Under my skin

Behind my closed eyes

The prayers and incense burning

Ain't gon' stop you hurting
