lyrics

You're just too sober for this
wasted world
The conversation leaves you bored
You're just too sober for this
wasted world
You've had enough, you're headed for the door

Don't want those highs
You don't need those lows
When they offer good and evil
You turn up your nose
They're pleadin sanity but see
How their blind eyes roll
The warmth of their human touch it leaves you cold

You're just too sober for this
wasted world
The conversation leaves you bored
You're just too sober for this
wasted world
You've had enough, you're headed for the door

Every face is down
underneath a mask
They're afraid to lift em up and
You're afraid to ask
This old intoxication it's the
only game in town
you're lookin at the clock, thinkin
I can't stick around

Cut through the fog
Cut through the lies
Cut through the cloud of smoke, it's
Just a dull disguise
Don't let em sell you any
Of their wrong or right
You don't need their shadows
You don't need their light

You're just too sober for this
wasted world
The conversation leaves you bored
You're just too sober for this
wasted world
You've had enough, you're headed for the door
You've had enough, you're ready for something more
You've had enough, you're sick down to your core
Yeah, you've had enough, you're headed for the door
