addiction

You think

We can give you our hearts, our spleens, our blood

And somehow it won’t affect us

So you’re fine

And we’re bleeding out

And we can’t stop loving you

We try and we try

And you’re running and falling

Every day could be your last

We’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling

Unable to sleep, wondering where you are

Hearts shattering a million times

While you smoke the rent and laugh and laugh

And you never see, you never see, you never see

The fallout

The tears that keep your boat from sinking

Are not the ones you cried

And when you’re through

And you’re cold and hungry and tired

You want a safe place to rest your head

But our shoulders are tired

From carrying the weight of your sin

Your life, your death and your pride
