lyrics

Tired of waking up
Fear in my coffee cup
Which of my two lives is going to win this
Tug o' war

Tired of making up
Sad and sorry vows to shapen up
'Till the next time the love is gone
It goes on and on and on

Over and out, out away
From high up above, it's clear as day
High in the clouds, sail away
Stealing the life from the day

Safe in the arms of my ideals
Cradled and warm in open fields
Free from harm of the real
From my mistress and her charms I can't conceal

Had it with juicing up
Feeding lions from the lotus cup
Stealing diamonds, crowned and burning up
'Cause they're all fake and they're all sheep

Got to just give it up
The fog and the fading luck
Got to leave the path of self destruct
That's got my feet in tow

Wake up don't let it drag you down bound and weighted
'Cause gravity is arbitrary
And that's all it is, a choice to laugh or frown
Now it's stated, everything is up to me

And it's up to me
To give in or give up
Hounds and dragons
And set a sail for open sea

And it's up to me
To live or wonder why
Life is draggin'
Everything is up to me

And it's up to me
To shine or slowly drown
Down and weighted
Everything is up to me
