[Verse 1]

Woke up inside myself this morning

Uncertainty all around

Got straight and turned on to some happiness

Then I lay back down

All there was around

Nothing left but ashes and the smell

[Verse 2]

Went down to the corner drug store

Pain was more than I could bear

They told me that I was illegal

I told them I don't care

Let them stand and stare

Nothin' left but old bones and the smell

[Bridge]

I know I can't go on

I just can't stand the pain, can't stand the pain

I know I just can't stand

Guess I'll go insane, go insane

[Verse 3]

Guess I was born to be mistreated

Contentment seems too hard to find

Searchin' for some understanding

Then I lost my mind

Left it far behind

Nothing left but memories and the smell
