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