I need someone to keep me alive
So my blood doesn't stop flowing
I need someone else to drive
'Cause the bags under my eyes are showing
I want someone to drag me out
Somebody that'll make me think
Throw me a line so I can float
Before I start to sink.
I am just a dying ember
Searching for gasoline
I am an adrenaline junkie
Searching for a dealer or a fellow fiend
And if I find I'm being drained
Of even the cheapest thrill
Well I won't even give it a second thought
And I will write you out of the will.
Entropy, take me higher
Entropy, I want more
Can't you see we must raise the wire?
Entropy, I want more.
I think my tolerance is getting strong
And let me tell you why
And 18-wheeler clipped my car
I didn't flinch when I almost died
I'll take my chaos with a side
Of the sweet entropy
Till I feel enough euphoric panic
To knock me off my feet.
Entropy, take me higher
Entropy, I want more
Can't you see we must raise the wire?
Entropy, I want more.
Entropy, take me higher
Entropy, I want more
Can't you see we must raise the wire?
Entropy, I want entropy
Take me higher
Entropy, I want more
Can't you see we must raise the wire?
Entropy, I want more.
