High to Death Lyrics

I fell over
I fell onto the ground
(Ooh) I wish I was sober
I can't get up off the ground, ground, ground, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

When I closed my eyes
And I thought I was blind
It's the middle of the night
And I'll never be alright again

And this wallpaper
Keeps going 'round the room
It keeps going 'round the room
It keeps going 'round the room
And I follow it around the room
And I follow it around the room

Keep smoking, I love you
Keep smoking, I love you
Keep smoking, I still love you
But I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

And I sat there on the steps
Considering death
There were only seconds left of the night

And I said hell is the sun
Burning forever at the center of things
A ball on fire at the center of things
A ball on fire at the center of things
A brain on fire at the center of things
A brain on fire at the center of things

I can't turn this thing off, it keeps following me
It used to be so human, now it's just a machine
I can't turn this thing off, it keeps following me
When you say you believe them, would you really believe?
I can't turn this thing off, it keeps following me
It used to be so human, now it's just a machine
I can't turn this thing off, it keeps following me
When you say you believe them, would you really believe?

Welcome to the Nevada Museum of Arts audio guide
We hope your experience will be

Hello, my name is Hojin Stella Jung, I am a senior at McQueen high school
My portfolio is a collection of paintings that was created during last summer
And the first half of my senior year and it's called The Lady
And I didn't feel very well when I painted the first
And I didn't feel very well when I painted the last
And it was intense, it was an intense process, and it was how I was trying tovery hard
Personify that intensity, but it's hard to talk about her now because
I think she wasn't me, at least that's how I feel
And I'm trying to figure out what to do now
Like she represents ferver in woman, she is powerful yet fragile
She stares but also averts her gaze
And I love her, at least I did and
But now I feel lost
And unsure of what to think and feel most of the time
But I did believe in her, The Lady
And maybe there is a different form now that the intensity takes

Enter another item number followed by the pound sign
Or you may hang up and call back later
