Lyrics
Two Times Removed
Music: Hayes, Clary; Lyrics: Reddee, Hayes, Chandlar & John
(Chorus)
Here I am again
So far away
Two times removed from the human race
And once again
I see your face
I still miss you
Here I am again
So far away
Two times removed from the human race
And once again
I see your face
I still miss you
I wish I could be there with you
But there are still things here for me to do
I need time to concentrate
Through the days time escapes
What we shared seemed to slip away
I feel empty and out of place
No one can live in the mental state
Although I try, I’ve got to get away
(Chorus)
To get so drunk, ripped and blazed
Over the world
Everyday I fly everywhere I go
I wonder why (man I’m so high)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
If I stay here longer I’ll spend more money
Take too much medication, not to be so funny
This nut house ain’t what I expected
All I do in the joint is sit back and reject any human that says it’s alright
It’ll be ok tomorrow the sunshine’s bright
But I no one understands what it’s like alone, singing to yourself
Who’s been where I came from?
Who had to make choices like me?
Why do we expect pain not to last?
Why would you dissect something new, to check a checkered past?
I’ll get your back when others go away
What else would ya want me to say?
I’m a diehard, good to me, good to you
Just playing the cards, what ya want me to do?
(Chorus)
(outtro)
Over the world
Everyday I fly
Everywhere I go
I wonder why (man I’m so high)
I miss when it was fun and I was young
Now I’m drinking to have some fun
Every night I sit out and contemplate
All these dreams I've grown to hate
What it was will never be again
I’m so tired of trying to pretend
My demise sealed with a kiss
All I’ve got, squenched together in my fist
