[English]

Bought a one way ticket right out my mind

Take drugs just to pass the time

Yeah, you want me to hate me, and you hate that I don't

But if I go too far, if I get too high?

Would you think about me up in the sky?

Wish the weight of the world could keep my feet on the ground

I'm feeling the changes

Caught up in phases

To feel this pain daily

Getting dangerous

Lord, where you at?

Can you save me?

It's three packs of cigs to the dome

Now my breathing ain't right

When I get too high

How I land in this life

If I say goodbye how would it make you feel?

This is three forty-five and I'm going off the rails

Where did my mind go?

Tell me where did the time go?

Can you let me know?

'Cause I'm outta control

So I got a one way ticket right out my mind

Take drugs just to pass the time

Yeah, you want me to hate me, and you hate that I don't

But if I go too far, if I get too high?

Would you think about me up in the sky?

Wish the weight of the world could keep my feet on the ground

I'm feeling the changes

Caught up in phases

To feel this pain daily

Getting dangerous

Lord, where you at?

Can you save me?

Oh, can you save me from the man you made me to be?

This flower can go through the cracks of the street

I chase to be all the good I can be

Now I'm going under like roots of a tree, yeah

Where did my mind go?

Tell me where did the time go?

Can you let me know?

'Cause I'm outta control

So I got a one way ticket right out my mind
