I was waiting for a fix
But then I found a trick and fought to stay awake
For the last few months I'd been let down
So I stuck around to see the daylight break
You don't know how it feels
Before your heart begins to ache
It's something of a mystery
How this misery can all take shape
Well I heard the sirens call
Until I walked these halls to find the sun's embrace
From the morning glow that I took in
Now upon my skin, the heat still radiates
How can they comprehend it
When I don't know what to say?
It's nothing but some misery
If this mystery still permeates
Shots of morphine, days of sleep
That's how I thought this life should be
In sorting out what hurt before
I've made myself an open door
Past addictions, new withdrawals
From what we took to climb the walls
Dependant love until it's gone
Expecting us to move along
I know I'll slip, but if I'm lost
Beneath these waves that flood my thoughts
I'll never waste my life away
To substitute what can't be changed
I'll come back out, I'll come back out
I'm not sleeping now
Shots of morphine, days of sleep
That's how I thought this life should be
In sorting out what hurt before
I've made myself an open door
Past addictions, new withdrawals
From what we took to climb the walls
Dependant love until it's gone
Expecting us to move along
But we'll be strong
We'll be strong
