Under The Bridge Lyrics

Verse 1

For the escapism
I almost sold my soul
Underneath the bridge
Like a grumpy old troll

Hands pulling below
Inside of gray powdered snow
For those cylindrical capsules
I'd let my last dollar go

My emotions volatile on this potion
I'm irresponsible found my love
Take it in vain easing the pain
From a while ago

Trying to turn my mind new
However minute
My childhood was cool
But liquid in the spoons making my past tolerable

As lonely as I am I wanted to die

I drive on the street
Like she's my only companion
Hurting without her
I'd certainly be deceased hanging
A beast with fangs
Got unleashed anger that's only calm
When that warm needle
Is pushed perfectly thru dirty feeble epidermis on my arm

Gone feeling numb
Like a Pharoah that's slumbering
Eternally in his fine tomb

I actually woke up to nurses
Inside of a white room embalmed
But I'm still in love with Miss Herron
Still glad that I put her on
At least I have her love together we cry
Im gonna stick with you

Chorus

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way (Yeah Yeah)
Verse 2
I tried to step into the light
But it was blinding
Trying to cover up my tracks like a little Danny in the shining
In rehab she left me and it tore me apart
My God you could hear the scar tissue shatter inside of my heart

The same miss
That save me from the abyss
Of the dark
Became my muse
Assisted me with my twisted art
Her thorns sharp and

I'm the rose petal
That fell from its pedestal
Unbearable God witnesses
The frozen princesses couldn't let it go

The interruption of a king
My slim heroines Grin
Taught me that I had even more to lose
Than everything

She kills suffering
She's too good to be true
They want to take my interest
From syringe is but I'm a stick with you
Chorus

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way (yeah yeah)

Bridge

Oh my god I found my love
I gave my kids away
I'm a stick with you

ChorusI don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

Verse 3

I'm in the middle of a storm nobody understands burying myself with my own hands
I'm high as Jim Morrison and I feel free
Till I'm dead in the bathtub she staying with me
All I need is a push and a couple cc's
Till my demons inside is are endangered species
She's my priestess and she gives me what this Priest needs
I'm gonna stick with you to I OD
