Poison

It keeps me up It keeps me up It keeps me up It keeps me up I'm wading in a swamp of a lot of bad decisions And I wanna make a good one A lot of ropes hang around me Most of them are snakes I don't wanna get bit again But sometimes I do You know how you tell good air from bad air You breathe in good air And after getting used to it You realize how little you ever really cared Sometimes best isn't good, it's just best And it keeps you around for another day All your intentions, man, give it a rest And just get me through We drink poison for a thorn in our shoe To keep us awake and fresh and new And hearing your voice in the other room Doesn't make me Need to talk to you There's been a ghost living in my attic For about a year now and I hardly noticed Keeps to himself for the most part But every so often I cannot help it So I walked up those stairs to go check What was that intriguing At three in the morning Hand on his chest, he said never again Would he keep me up We drink poison for a thorn in our shoe To keep us awake and fresh and new And hearing your voice in the other room Doesn't make me Need to talk to you I've been thinking bout filing my taxes Or getting around to getting my van inspected I've been thinking bout cleaning out my closet Or taking a vitamin Drinking some water Doing my stretches or calling my mom Checking under my bed Not smoking at all Telling the person upstairs to keep it down Keep it down, would you keep it down? Keep it down Keep it down Keep it down Could you keep it down? Keep it down Keep it down Keep it down I'm trying to get some sleep I'm trying to get some sleep
