Chasing Highs

Verse

All these highs give me so much

But take away everything

That I ever dreamed to touch

I fear I will never amount to much

The only thing to get me by

Are those fleeting highs

But they fall away in an instant

Now disappearing and feeling so distant

Makes me question my very existence

As the world keeps turning as I create a resistance

To the joys that kept me going through every war

So I ask myself what it was all for


Prechorus

Endless days of remaining broken and torn

Never changed my ways so no progress was born

While expecting to feel new and awakened

Reality soon showed how I was mistaken

But the countless chances I've been given

Weren't wasted and my mistakes are forgiven

I can't stay trapped in this past

or I'll remain dead last


Chorus

Chasing highs always gets me so damn low

But I don't have anywhere else to roam

When everything seems lost and I've lost my flow

I escape to the vices I've called my home

I finally understand the fall of Rome

As they chased their hedonistic goal

the same patterns seem to mark my soul

But I know I must regain control

Life is a race against yourself first

the world can wait, don't think it's reversed

Ya it's true that these highs are tempting

But never forget what you're attempting

We're all in our bitter war

and falling to our old devices

will lose everything we've fought for

So never doubt to pay the highest prices
