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.
