HOW'S YOUR CONNECTION DEAR, DO YOU KEEP THEM WHEN YOU'RE CLEAN
ARE YOU HOOKED ON PEOPLE OR PLUGGED TO A MACHINE
ARE YOUR OBSESSIONS CLEAR, DO YOU KEEP THEM ON A LIST
CAN YOU JUST RIDE 'EM OUT OR DO THEY CAMP OUT WHERE YOU LIVE

NOBODY SAYS EXACTLY WHAT THEY MEAN
AND THOSE KIND OF PROMISES NEVER COME FOR FREE

THROW ALL YOUR CELEBRATIONS UP AGAINST THE WALL
AND IF NOTHING STICKS, WILL YOU LAY DOWN WHERE THEY FALL
THAT'S QUITE A MUG SHOT DEAR, DO YOU CATALOG YOUR CRIMES
I'D LOVE TO BE YOUR VICTIM BUT I'M OVERDOSED ON PRIDE

I WAS ALWAYS SO AWARE THAT I'D NEVER COME OUT CLEAN
CAUSE THOSE KIND OF RECREATIONS NEVER COME FOR FREE

I DON'T MIND LAYIN' LOW 'CEPT MY HEAD KEEPS HITTIN' THE FLOOR
KEEP GRABBIN' BAGS OF PAST FOR AN EASY OPEN DOOR
IT'S QUITE AN EPISODE BUT I CAPTURED IT ALL IN SONG
MAY BE THE FINAL STEP IN EVERYTHING I'VE DONE WRONG

I KNOW I NEVER SAID EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT
BUT THOSE KIND OF PROMISES ARE BETTER RECEIVED THAN SENT
