Baby put down the drink, and baby put down the bottle.
You're starting to sink.
And when you're down on your knees it's so hard to swallow.
You can feel it rush through your veins. That desire, that craving to see the end of the tunnel. You want it in a flash. You want to know the pain, the burn. Poison your blood and then take yourself out. Fall from grace. Take that one last plunge into oblivion. You don't want to hear these thoughts anymore. You don't want to have this torment, this inability to live. That blockade you built wont budge. Pound on the walls until your fists bleed and bone starts to show. You're a fighter all right you fight against yourself and both sides are vicious.
Your heart is beating like a loaded gun
What's done is done and you're spinning in circles.
Where's the girl that I used to know?
Why did you let her go? You know I loved her so.
You're getting ill. The voices aren't clear. Who are you? The psychosis is sinking in and taking a hold. Inside its dark and pouring rain. The weather changes as your emotions go. Off the handle and onto the ground. Pound the ground and yell at the top of your lungs but no one can hear you. This place you've made is an asylum of a broken soul. It wasn't a love gone wrong, it wasn't a past less semi charmed, it was all you. You're diseased. This isn't something someone can talk out of you and you know that. This is so much deeper.
There's a light at the end they say, but you don't care. All you know is the dark and that's all you want to know. The voice inside is quiet now, it's just as sick as you. This isn't about fulfilling yourself, this isn't about finding yourself. You know who you are, androgynous to the world but clear to you. But it doesn't matter, you killed them. You broke yourself apart only shatters remain. Now you'll never be reborn.
Shut your eyes and try to sleep the next day will be the same. Try to talk to people but you're too sick to know what to say. Wear your glamour they all buy it anyway. That life you wish you had, they all say just go and take it. You know it's not that simple, you know you can't do it and you know the chemicals in your brain are off. You know this isn't the same. You can feel the burn like a tumor against your chest when you hyperventilate. Let the adrenaline rush over you as you spiral out of control. Crash on the floor again. Call it an anxiety attack, tell them you're just going through a heat stroke. Tell them whatever you want you're the world's best actor. Fool the world and become the fool in the mirror.
I don't want it to go this way
Feeling like tomorrow is just a yesterday
I hate the way it is and to tell you the truth
It's killing me and it's killing you.
Watch her live, watch them all live. You know you're pulling her down but you know what will happen when you go, if you go. Those streets look so barren. The reality in your mind will become the reality your eyes see. Are you ready for that? You have nowhere to go and you're feeling it. Be forever a teenager in a grown body. Tell them all you're well off, tell them all you're doing fine. We both know how close you are to oblivion. Another casualty of conformity right? You try so hard to be perfectly fine but this is beyond help now. Only drugs will help but you don't want to spend the money for that when theres such an easy way. Dopamine comes from exhilaration so bring out the poison bring out the jagged edges then let the night air wash over. It gets cold out there, it will be slow.
I can't stand all the ups and downs
The back and forths and the round and rounds
The in and outs of the slamming doors
It's tearing me apart, I can't take no more.
Piece by piece your life is coming closer to the edge. Will there be a freight train or an angel of redemption? You don't know or care you just want to go 180mph into the unknown and see where you end up. Are you the person you claim to be or the person you laid to rest, it doesn't even matter to you anymore. All you want is the end of this pathetic excuse for a life. The apocalypse can rain down on you, you want it so badly. Your body craves it, it's convulsing the longer you let the rage and pain simmer. You know you're a sinner so what does it matter heaven or hell it's all the same shit to you in the end.
You crave it. That tear that always goes down their cheeks. Let the pulsing go over you and feel the skin quiver. Lay down. Lay down. Let the demons rest with you. It will all be over soon. Think of the good times and the high life.. it will make it easier. Don't think of her, that will stop you. Don't think of the promises you've made that will deter you. No just take it into over drive, flip on the nitrous and let it go. Let it ride out.
I want us like we were before
Not like the broken glass lying on the floor.
Grip your heart. What is it that you want? You crave the end and the adrenaline that goes with it but you want it to go back. To the days when you took pride, the days when you felt alive. You want to feel, you want to take a hold of what you have and become.. what you always were. What you always will be. You're that powerful human being that can overcome anything, you're beyond what you see, you are amazing. She knows it too, most of them do. They see past this charade that you think is so fool proof. but you're still an amazing actor. Your presentation is astounding. Until you're left to your prime. Your words tell more than you know. There's things in this world that you want. Things you want so much that you can't stand your life. You wan to change it and you have moments where it all makes sense. Where you can change it all. You try to grip on to them so hard but you can't hold on.
It feels like it's all slipping away
I wish I had you like It has you
It feels like it's all slipping away
I wish I had you..
Pound the ground one last time. Will you get up or will you lay down like the mutt you are. This world is a lot to take in, honesty might be a good start. Be true to yourself and everything will come after. Yea times are bad but you put yourself here. You know that, you know you can only blame yourself. But it's not to late, it's never too late. You feel the rush of the sounds take over your mind. There's a calm for a minute. You're alright for a moment again, you can see again. Make ideas, make plans. You wont go through with them but at least your hearts in the right place again.
Baby put down the drink, baby put down the bottle
You're starting to sink
And you get high when you're down, but I'm watching you fall.
You can see what you want in the light but that darkness haunts you. You can't stand the pain. You can't stand people, the world, it hits you like a blunt side of a loaded gun. You explode. You hate the fact you're a nothing, but that's you're fault like everything else is. Take it. Why wont you take it? If you were who they all said you were you wouldn't take this laying down. Stand on your feet and take on the world. That's who you are. Now take it. Just stop thinking and take it. The world is yours, you're brilliant. Just take it in. One day it will all make sense all you need to do is take that one last chance. Don't think just do it.
You're heart is beating like a loaded gun
What's done is done
And you're spinning in circles....
