Sometimes life it takes you by the hand. 

It puts 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 make it I just follow my head. 

When it's strange to take a walk downstairs 

Sweep u all up on a corner and pay for my bread. 

You know that I cannot believe my own truth 

To show what a truth,  got nothing to lose. 



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 wanted to choose 



[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/helena-beat-lyrics-foster-the-people.html ]



To not get out of bed and get lost in your head again. 

You play the game but you gotta cut 

Cuz' you're coming down hard your joints are off stud. 

I tried to say that's not the only way 

I never knew if I could convince myself to change. 

You were pacing I was insecure. 

Slip and fall I got the calls of the prison I was 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.
