I took the bait and I always knew that I would

I remember why I keep my distance from all that makes me good

Because my mind was infested

With pains that were out of your hands

And you couldn’t have guessed it so you should run while you can

Stay away from such a troubled man

You were my passenger and I’m a reckless driver after all

I’ll crash and burn and hit the ground

But I wouldn’t want to force you to fall

Because my mind was infested

With beasts you couldn’t tame if you tried

And I should have warned you the moment you caught my eye

To run while you can escape

Before you get caught in the riptide of my wake

Because my mind is still infested with thoughts that you could never cure

But it’s my burden, it’s not yours

So pick yourself up, you should have more

And run as far as you can

To stay away from such a troubled man
