Lyrics for Helena Beat

Sometimes life it takes you by the hair Pulls you down before you know it It's gone and you're dead again I've been in places and I won't pretend That I'd make it out just to fall on my head Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent You know that I could not believe my own truth Just show them what I choose Got nothing to lose, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight You know those days when you want to just choose To not get out of bed You're lost in your head again You play the game, but you're kind of cut 'Cause you're coming down hard Your joints are all stuck I tried to say that it's not the only way I never knew if I could face myself to change You were pacing, I was insecure Slip and fall, I'm dodging calls Hug the prison I've been living in Yeah, yeah and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah, yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight Yeah, yeah and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah, yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison Took a sip of something poison, poison Yeah, yeah and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah, yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight Yeah, yeah and it's okay I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way Yeah, yeah and I'm alright I took a sip of something poison Took a sip of something poison, poison (Woo, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, woo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
