John Doe(feat. Priscilla)
Seems like your heart stops working
The minute they close the curtain
You take off your mask and take off your costume
And if anyone asks, you're taking a small break
You're drinking some coffee
But everyone knows what you're doing
Seems like the bus moves slower
Just 'cause you got somewhere to go
So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But if anyone asks you've got a prescription
You've got an addiction
Who do you think that you're fooling?
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe
Everybody's addicted to something
Everybody gotta grip on to something
Even if it's just a field of responsive of appeal
Maybe once, maybe twice, maybe hundreds of times
Hundreds of times, without it, it's hard to function at times
You race to the bottom of every single bottle
As if there was someone or something to find
You struggle in your mind and you tell yourself lie after lie
Till you get to the point when it's no longer private
The people that you work with notice the signs
When you walk in a room you can notice the quiet
So you break off the silence, you say you been at the gym
But the way that you look can't blame on a diet
So what you hiding?

John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe
I probably had too many things, smashed too many freaks
Had too much to drive, I mean, had too much to drink
Left the club, ended up in custody
Random drug test, passed it luckily
My girl put up with me 'cause she want me steadily
With a woman up onto me, I told her, 'Wait, it ain't what it look like
I must've slipped and fell, clumsy me'
Well, at least I admit it 'cause the worst you could do
Is to do it and not be man enough to say that you did it
That's just how you prevent it
Well, I ain't no different, I love all the money, the fame
And the parties with beautiful women
I spent so much time as an underground artist
'Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business and what I'd become
But that what you judge you become
The path with the greatest resistance
That's how the tables can turn when they pivot
And change your perspective and flip your entire position
My whole life I've been dying and wishing
To live in this period, everything's possible
When I told them my dreams they just said it ain't logical
Now I can see it, it's optical
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe
