Foster The People - Helena Beat (EP) Lyrics

Sometimes life, it takes you by the hand
Puts you down before you know it
It's gone and you're dead again
I've been in places and I won't pretend
That I make it out just to fall on my head
When it's strange, take a walk downstairs
Sweep you all up on a corner and pay for my rent
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show 'em what I choose, got nothing to lose, oh

Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight

You know those days when you wanted to choose
To not get out of bed, get lost in your head again
You play the game, but you gotta cut
'Cause you're coming down hard, your joints are all stuck
I tried to say that's not the only way
I never knew if I could convince myself to change
You were pacing, I was insecure
Slip and fall, dodging calls from the prison I was living in

Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight
Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poisoned, took a sip of something poisoned, poisoned

Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poisoned but I'll hold on tight
Yeah, yeah, and it's okay
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way
Yeah, yeah, and I'm alright
I took a sip of something poisoned, took a sip of something poisoned, poisoned

"Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison, a sip of something poison, poison.

Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight.

Yeah yeah and it's okay.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don't fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I'm alright.
I took a sip of something poison, a sip of something poison, poison."
