[Verse 1: Koethe]
I was done, I was over
With the tales, with the stories I had spun
For the love of it
I was f*cked, I was f*cked up
I was caught, I was caught up in the way
That it could have been
[Pre-Chorus: Koethe]
And do you wonder
What it's like to lose your head?
[Chorus: Koethe]
So sick, I think I need a way out
So stuck, I'm planning my escape now
Can't take it gotta break it somehow
Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown
Welcome to the shakedown
Welcome to the shakedown
[Verse 2: Koethe]
And down, but not out for the count
Are we there? Is it almost time?
Are we young? Are we older?
Are we high? Are we sober yet?
Will we hurt when we cross the line?
[Pre-Chorus: Koethe]
And do you know
What it is like losing your mind?
[Chorus: Koethe]
So sick, I think I need a way out
So stuck, I'm planning my escape now
Can't take it gotta break it somehow
Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown
[Verse 3: Koethe]
I was done, I was over
My head, I was drowning
Inescapable was it
I was left, I was locked up
I was held, I was caught up in the way
That it should have been
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Koethe]
So sick, I think I need a way out
So stuck, I'm planning my escape now
Can't take it gotta break it somehow
Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown
