High

He went off to the city

Chasing dreams and bright lights

Hoping he would find more

Than small town hearts and minds

Skyscrapers over head

Like mountains casting shadows

Blocking out the sunshine

Making concrete hollows

What were you looking for?

What did you hope to find?

Just Keep your eyes open wide

But it’s bleeding him dry

And he doesn’t know why

He just wanted to fly

Now he just gets high

Now he just gets high

Just gets high

He was a good person

Before he got turned around

Just another lost soul

Selling flesh by the pound

He’s missing more than old days

Lying under tall trees

Letting in the sunshine

Letting him know he was free

What were you looking for?

What did you leave behind?

Keep your eyes open wide

But it’s bleeding him dry

And he doesn’t know why

He just wanted to fly

Now he just gets high

Now he just gets high

What you want isn’t what you need

What you desire can burn away

Burn away within your soul

Lose your soul along the way

Now he just gets high

Now he just gets high

Just gets high
