Take away the pain
   An let me fly away
   Take away the pain
   An let me fly away
  
   This is a last dance
   My last chance.. to get it right
   At first glance
   You might think my life looks nice
   But if you look a little closer
   I walk on thin ice
   Im 1 slip from death
   12 steps from paradise
   Im young America
   Riddled with defects of charater
   A reject
   Caught in a web of mass hysteria
   I pray for the world to change
   I seen my friends killed in pain
   1 fixed from the end
   1 drink from sane Im stained
   Lost with my brain broke
   A second from smoked out
   Still living the great hope
   Shit if ya gonna save me save me now
   Im an escape artist with no escape I need a way out
   My life is way out
   The same old played out
   Stuck on the same rout
   So Im taking a leap of faith
   Hoping I win this race
   Hoping this time I'm bleased and dont miss
   Cause I know
   An God knows
   I really worked hard for this

   Take away the pain
   An let me fly away
   Take away the pain
   An let me fly away
  
   Now when i get away from trouble
   I go looking for more
   Taking 2 steps back from the bridge to the shore
   Trying to hustle muscle sore from doing the Devil's chore's
   Running from my problems
   Never getting to the core
   Been running round in circles
   Down dead end roads
   I dont know where Im going
   But I act like I know
   Borrowing money to pay back what I owe
   My heads a 3 ring circus
   Im a 1 man show
   Another tattooed freak
   I was born in a jar
   I was breed to be a sick confused loser rockstar
   So whose the puppet master?
   I went from county jail to an over night disaster
   Living fast an getting faster
   Now mumma's on the front pouch sippin on some wine
   While Daddy's in the office an hes chopping up some lines
   My sisters in the backyard smoking northen green
   My brothers in the basement cooking meth amphetamines

   Take away the pain
   An let me fly away
   Take away the pain
   An let me fly away
  
   These thoughts, collective
   Im trying to alter my perspective
   I'm coming to a halt
   But to stop is my objective
   Time is running out
   My luck is running thin
   I've struggled too long not to win or die trying
   I see the clock ticking buying time time is flying
   I smile at defeat still inside Im crying
   Look into the sky asking why I cant live a simple life
   Its a lie to try an say the grass isnt greener on the other side
   A poor excuse for Heavens set
   Cause I cant climb the fench no matter how hard I try
   Im wrapped in bared wire wondering whose on my side
   Rusty knives in back
   Theres no where left for me to hid
   Im wrapped up in sins so Im in for a ride
   I'd commit suicide but I dont wanna die
   Im sick of getting high
   An Im sick of these games
   There's not enough drugs to take
   To take away the pain

   Take away the pain
