Losing Ourselves
When I was twelve it was all fun
All fun and games
All for the thrill, the usual drill
That’s what it became
Mama says she can’t see my eyes
Mama says that I don’t look right
Mama asks me if I’m all right
See the doctor for some therapy
Says that this will get the best of me
Says the clinic is the place to be
It’s only time and chance
It’s only circumstance
Blaming me, blaming you
And we’re losing ourselves
Blood on me, blood on you
And we’re losing ourselves
As life rolled on, bored of it all
In need of escape
Habitually, reality
Was losing its shape
Family says I gotta give it up
Friends say I gotta drop the stuff
I can never seem to get enough
Hey buddy, can you spare some time
Hey buddy, can you spare a dime?
Hey buddy, can you get me high?
It’s only time and chance
It’s only circumstance
Blaming me, blaming you
And we’re losing ourselves
Blood on me, blood on you
And we’re losing ourselves
No way to cope
And we’re losing ourselves
Don’t give up hope
As we’re losing ourselves
It’s only circumstance
Blaming me, blaming you
And we’re losing ourselves
Blood on me, blood on you
And we’re losing ourselves
No way to cope
And we’re losing ourselves
Don’t give up hope
As we’re losing ourselves
