lyrics

This shroud of intoxication soothes my nerves
It keeps me away from the ledge
Day by day, week by week

Transient as it may be, this pleasure is all that I have left
I'll take whatever I can get
Before I end up face down in the water

Tighten the tourniquet while I grit my fucking teeth
Until the needle dulls the ache
And I go spiralling down again
Asleep on the tracks at midnight
Dwelling in narcotic dreams
As the poppies bloom, the call of relapse sings to me

Living life in an abscess carved into the lives of others
I will take what I'm given
Before I end up face down in the water

Tighten the tourniquet while I grit my fucking teeth
Until the needle dulls the ache
And now I'm back to square one again
Doubling the dose
Hoping it'll see me off
Pleading to rest my eyes, withdrawal never sleeps

I've found my peace at last
Or some chemical substitute
Through a bright-eyed rapture, it takes me home
My place to rest, my place to die
Please promise me I'll see you there again
