Same old shock, city-wide stop because They've taken everything I ever loved. Will it hurt the same if I fight the pain with drugs? And can I come back, get back on track before? Tell it how it is, no matter what. 4 AM I'll smoke again because The moon shines bright and brings to light my flaws. When the sun comes up will bring it me off the floor? Or will I lie down, get lost in sound and fall? Tell it how it is, no matter what. Will you take my breath Or leave me dead? Can you bring me back To the world? Tell me how it is. Tell it how it is, no matter what.
