lyrics

You want it, you need it
Every day it continues to hurt
Just one more, this last time
There is no pain that can remain inert

Russian roulette every time you get high
It's worth the rest when it's how you survive
Something you can't control is demonized
The freedom of leaving it all behind

You want it, you need it
There's something beautiful in tragedy
Just one more, this last time
There is no fear when you've been here before

Russian roulette every time you get high
It's worth the rest when it's how you survive
Something you can't control is demonized
The freedom of leaving it all behind

We have to fight each day to stay alive
The need for flight should never be denied

We're born the same
We all live through pain

Put on a straight face and do your best
When you're not guaranteed your next breath

Time to go up, then fall back down
It's not the destination but the journey that counts
Turn on, tune in, and then drop out
It's better to go with than have to go without

It's time to slow, everything down
The joy of getting lost with no plan to be found
Ejection seat, a quick escape
From 10,000 feet you can't see all the flaws

You think you're better than me
You live behind lies you believe
Afraid to face the truth, we are the same

When I need a way, to get through the day, everything's the same
I look for another exit
When I think about, punching in and out, all I live without
I look for another exit
When I'm at my worst, and about to burst, choking on my thirst
I look for another exit
When I want to die, barely scraping by, nothing left to try
I look for another exit
