Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't stay
I'm in a cave of lack
Run away
It always brings me back
When I try
To cut my soul in two
There was nothin' much inside
Except the dregs of youth
[Chorus]
Everybody had to shine
'Cause they want to be unkind
With glistening skin
You walked right in
[Verse 2]
Terrorize
To run me for a shelter
Find it out quick
There was no reason shame
If you want to paint my town
The way it should be done
In and out and up and down
Until the rattlesnakes run
[Chorus]
I know that you try to weep
Underneath the guise of sleep
And baby, I could share
My Chinese chair
[Bridge]
The summer love distorts me back there
Back to that time I did aspire
Your supervision drew me back there
Into the restless time you keep
[Bridge]
I don't need you messing with my high
No party favors, no replies
I'm not gonna resuscitate your mood
I got my rattlesnakes run
[Outro]
Everybody knows your chase
Will be on the light sunshine
From the height of man
You might understand
