VERSE 3 - w/ RYTHYM FIG 2 (two times)
forgot my woman, lost my friends
things I'd done and where I'd been
sleep in sweat, the mirror's cold
see my face, it's growing old
scared to death, no reason why
doing whatever to get me by
think about the things I've said
read the page it's cold and dead
and take me home
yeah, take me home
take me home
take me home, yeah take me
home yeah
