Not as High as I Used To
Once I was super, a man made out of steel
I was moving round faster than a rat on a wheel
My mind was filled with ideas, a dam filled to the brim
Somehow it started leakin’, and soon I found I couldn’t swim.
The highs ain’t as high as they used to
On a good day I’m just a feeling blue
So I’d stay away if I was you
Cause the highs ain’t as high as they used to
Here comes the flood, here comes the end
All I can do is brace for impact, tumblin, something’s pulling me in
Now I’m a sittin on the shore, dried up, on my knees
I can’t make sense of this empty head full of all this disease.
The highs ain’t as high as they used to
On a good day I’m just a feeling blue
So I’d stay away if I was you
Cause the highs ain’t as high as they used to
I can’t even show my face, its not time for the show
The one where they can read your eyes, and the only thing you want is just to go
I look at my reflection as if its not really there
There lies the truth, but I got nothing left to care.
The highs ain’t as high as they used to
On a good day I’m just a feeling blue
So I’d stay away if I was you
Cause the highs ain’t as high as they used to
