OPIOID

THE NIGHT IS MY COMFORT
MY THOUGHTS ARE MADE OF SAND
THIS WORLD IS A CONFUSION
I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND

IT ‘S NOT THAT I’M SLOW
BUT NOT MUCH MAKES ANY SENSE
I CAN’T SEEM TO NAVIGATE
I’M SITTING ON SANITY’S FENCE


I NEED REFUGE FROM THE STORM
INSIDE MY HEAD
THE VOICES THAT SURROUND ME
BECKENING FROM THE DEAD

BUT WHEN I’M SINGING
IT’S PEACFUL AND IT’S STILL
SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME
I SING JUST LIKE AN ANGEL


FEEL JUST LIKE A STRANGER IN
A CRUEL AND HOSTILE PLACE
LOOKING FOR ANOTHER
WITH KINDNESS IN THEIR FACE

I WANT TO TELL ANYONE
HOW IT FEELS INSIDE MY MIND
BUT THE WORDS JUST WON’T COOPERATE
THEY LEAVE MY THOUGHTS BEHIND

WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS SOMETIMES
IT’S EASIER TO TAKE
BUT THE PAIN IS GETTING WORSE
EVERY MOMENT I’M AWAKE

IF I COULD BE TOUCHED
I MIGHT FEEL SOME RELIEF
BUT THERE’S NUMBNESS IN MY VEINS
AND I’VE FALLEN FAR BENEATH

I’LL EAT POISEN, I’LL DRINK FIRE
GRAB THE SNOW UNTIL I’M WIRED
I’LL DO ANYTHING I CAN
TO STOP THIS PAIN

THERE ARE PEOPLE ALL AROUND ME
SAY THEY CARE AND THEY SURROUND ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT IT’S LIKE INSIDE THIS TRAP
I’LL CLOSE MY EYES
I’M NOT COMING BACK
