 You  give me untold riches to which I hatched a plan
 I drink myself to death  just because I can
Gave  me many choices I didn't understand
 Crawled across the floor I knew  I couldn't stand
 I can't lie  to myself this way
 I have to stand  up and walk away
 I can't lie  to myself this way
 I have to stand  up and walk away
 Stand  up  ×3
 Stand  up  and  walk
 Away...
 Hard to watch you suffer, so hard to feel the pain
 But you're wrapped so tight in your one block world
 Too scared to make the change
 Ask yourself this question while you're playing with your gun
 Is your finger shaking on the trigger, are you really having fun?
 I can't lie to myself today
 I have to stand up and walk away
 I can't lie to myself this way
 I have to stand up and walk away
 Stand up ×3
 Stand up and walk
 Away
 Stop talking
 Try listening
 To what I'm trying to say
 If you're walking
 You're breathing
 Maybe you can make a change
 You give me untold riches to which I hatched a plan
 I drink myself to death just because I can
 Now I'm judge and jury. Are you having so much fun
 Sitting up there on your throne? I've only just begun
 I can't lie to myself this way
 I have to stand up and walk away
 I can't lie to myself today
 I have to stand up and walk away
 Stand up ×3
 Stand up and walk
 Away
