I know the ground 'round here too well Every crack and corner of my cell Seems my world has been reduced in size And I'm running very low Running very low on highs I took my pleasures one by one Hovered closer to the sun Until my melting wings fell from the sky Now I'm running very low Running very low on highs I remember how it was I was like a soldier to the cause But in the end you pay a heavy price It leaves you running very low Running very low on highs I stumbled through the day Floated through the nights Where life is measured by The brightness of the light But it is gone before you even finished Saying your goodbyes I won't take back the things I did I am not ashamed of how I lived I've never needed any alibis But I'm running very low Running very low on highs So if you think that life is cruel To me it is like a tank of fuel And I used up mine By the time I was thirty-five Yes, I'm running very low Running very low on highs
