Lyrics

I got a pocket full of herbal highs
That I bought off a real nice guy
So don't threaten me with a good time
I don't need no excuse
When those feelings come again
I'd like to say I'll be prepared
But we all know I'll just cave in
Given opportunities
So take these opportunities out
Tie me to some straight-style mast
But don't plug my ears or gag my mouth
There's still some things need doing
Take my choices all away
Tell me how to feel and what to say
And maybe I'll find some peace someday
Without these opportunities
Now finally home, words we try
And half-cut I try to describe
How that smile just makes me come alive
It really starts me crying
And I can hear the words fall from my mouth
In the rear-view mirror I can see myself
I shut up as we turn to south
And I really feel like dying
So take these opportunities out
Tie me to some straight-style mast
But don't plug my ears or gag my mouth
There's still some things need doing
Take my choices all away
Tell me how to feel and what to say
And maybe I'll find some peace someday
Without these opportunities
Just five more minutes then we'll go
I'm making a new friend you know
And I know I'm high but I was so low
It's such an awesome cycle
And like my friend already said
If you don't ask then I won't tell
Instead of that we'll just pretend
That no one ever knows
So take these opportunities out
Tie me to some straight-style mast
But don't plug my ears or gag my mouth
There's still some things need doing
Take my choices all away
Tell me how to feel and what to say
And maybe I'll find some peace someday
Without these opportunities
Without these opportunities
Without these opportunities
Without these opportunities
