She's young, live and homely
Wise by no means
Known one guy she's for his eyes and only
He's a lying phony, leaves crying, lonely
Separates the pain by staying high and though she
Might just O.D. high price to go free
This ain't living, listen it's dying slowly
(It's got a hold on me)
She can chase that feeling
(It's got a hold on me)
Don't chase that feeling

(Chorus)

Sometimes I feel we strive through a life of apathy
Callous deeds of the mindless acts of greed
Ain't jack for free
I think they try a tax to breathe
Just let me fight to remind us that we bleed
I take flight in the night from lack of sleep
Cause peace of mind's the only time that we're free
(It's got a hold on me)
And I'm a chase that feeling
(It's got a hold on me)
We all chase that feeling

It's like they try to build you up to watch it all collapse
Try to climb out the pit they'll try to claw you back
Like back in the factory packing the shelves
It was hell
Cause the foreman was always harassing me like
"How's your little old music thing going?"
Now I'm like
"How's your bitter old loser shit going?"
And I'm right
(It's got a hold on me)
And I'm a chase that feeling
(It's got a hold on me)
I'm a chase that feeling like

(Chorus)

And I'm a chase that feeling
Take that pain and replace that feeling
And I'm a take that healing then
Stand so tall they'll have to raise that ceiling man

At a young age I was making my mark
Chasing my start
Forever ain't enough when you're state of the art
Fuck the haters that have said I'd never make it this far
It's the pavers that I tread that dedicate to my craft
I've tailored every threat to bare the shape of my heart
Treating every breath as my first and day as my last
(It's got a hold on me)
I still chase that feeling
(It's got a hold on me)
Yeah I still chase that feeling.

I ride the rails of a vinyl track
Fall into a trance and there ain't no climbing back
Sit and lose myself in all the hidden loops
They're like forbidden fruits, I'm like can I get a bite of that?
Gin and juice
I get loose and I write a track
Shivers down my spine feeling more like a spinal tap
(It's got a hold on me)
And I'm a chase that feeling
(It's got a hold on me)
I'm a chase that feeling

(Chorus)

And I'm a chase that feeling
Take that pain and replace that feeling
And I'm a take that healing then
Stand so tall they'll have to raise that ceiling man

At the start of summer
I'm a
Come to life and have the heart of a humming bird
And I can hear the drummer
And she's so ugly but I'm so in love with her
Wake up
Roll outta bed throw on some roll-on
Roll up to the studio it's got a hold on me
And I'm a chase that feeling
Chase that feeling
