Strung Out

If you want me to be strung out
On the feelings that surround me now
No, I won’t be restrained
What you had in mind for me
When you’re running on overload
The the truth will begin to show
Finding the answer is a long hard road
That no one will know
You’ve been leading a sheltered life
Now you’re facing a free-fall ride
You better move before
You’re down on your knees, so hard to concede
If you want me to be strung out…
Some say it’s never too late
To play into the hands of fate
Trading the hopes of your ethereal haze
Get out of this place
As we stand here and watch the storm
Waiting years for the night to fall
Avoiding every chance
To feed the fire, you know I’m a liar
If you want me to be strung out
On the pain and the feelings of doubt
No, I won’t be afraid
Of leading you down
Down the road to the fallout
You think you’ve won it going away
Now you’re melting in the acid rain
Trapped in a cage where are your friends now?
Nowhere to be found
As we stand here and watch the storm
Waiting years for the night to fall
Avoiding every chance
To feed the fire, you know I’m a liar
If you want me to be strung out…
If you want me to be strung out
On the pain and the feelings of doubt, no I won’t — no I won’t!
