Why Do We Get High? Pouya

[Verse 1]
We can get along, but I'll still keep the piece to keep the beast away from me
I know he's waiting patiently for me to arrive
I survived so many nights and my torturous ways
So really, it's myself the one that should be afraid
I walk a tight rope between God and the reaper and I'm ready
For either, but they leave it up to me to choose my path
I got this wrath inside my chest and it's burning, don't get rest
Sometime I feel like it's a test, but rest assured, I know therе's more
To life than this, you blink, you miss, next thing you know you'rе deep in shit
Thinking about the things you could've done different, I know we wish
Upon the stars but know they way too far, when do we give up?
When that liquor don't give you hiccups and those pills don't get your dick hard

[Chorus]
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told
Why do we get high? To balance out the lows
Why do we sit by and watch the world implode?
Not getting younger and that's getting really old
Sit down, watch it unfold, 'cause that's what I was told

[Verse 2]
Get your diploma, go to college, you might be somebody
You hang with bums, you might become one, boy, just think about it
Can't go too far with shackles on your feet, connected to the weakest link
In your crew (Don't hold me back, don't hold me down)
Don't hold me back, don't hold me down, just let me swim or make me drown
You surround yourself with clowns, well, what that make you?
Got a lot to go around but when that bank account drown
No one is to be found so what's that tell you?
