The Drug In Me Is You

Falling In Reverse · The Drug in Me Is You [2011]

I heard a knock upon my door the other day

I opened it to find death staring in my face

The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates

Everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case



My body's tremblin'

Sends shivers down my spine

Adrenaline kicks and shifts into overdrive

Your secrets keep you sick

Your lies keep you alive

Snake eyes every single time you roll with crooked dice



I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down

The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house

I wrestle with my thoughts

I shook the hand of doubt

Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now



I've lost my god damn mind

It happens all the time

I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here

Trying to consume

The drug in me is you

And I'm so high on misery

Can't you see



I got these questions always running through my head

So many things that I would like to understand

If we are born to die and we all die to live

Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts



I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down

The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house

I wrestle with my thoughts

I shook my hand of doubt

Running from my past I'm praying feet down fail me now



I've lost my god damn mind

It happens all the time

I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here

Trying to consume

The drug in me is you

And I'm so high on misery

Can't you see



I've lost myself

You tried to reach me but you just can't help me

So long

Goodbye

You tried to save me

It won't work this time



Cause now

I've lost my fucking time

And there's no fucking time

I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here

Trying to consume

The drug in me is you

And I'm so high on misery

Can't you see

Oh can't you see

Can't you see
