I died the death of a thousand cuts
I've payed my penance, but it's not enough
I let you go every time I bleed
Take a hit, fall at your feet
Waking up to an empty bed
Are you gone, or just getting by
Every time you leave
I'm standing there all alone
F*ck all the hits you take
They drive sickness to your bones
The lies impaired our minds
But dear you're still in harm's way
I am here to take it all away
But all you want is novacane
The love you give while out of your mind
Makes me lose everything inside
Come back saying you're alright
But you and I both know it's wrong
You've got poison in your veins
But you're the poison in my brain
Every time you leave
I'm standing there all alone
F*ck all the hits you take
They drive sickness to your bones
The lies impaired our minds
But dear you're still in harm's way
I am here to take it all away
But all you want is novacane
How am I supposed to react as you swallow the pills
How am I supposed to react as the needle sticks out of your arm
Most importantly, how am I supposed to react as you waste your life away
Because I'm here, and you're deep in a drug induced trance
The toxicity of our love really weighs on my mind
As I wonder, will it all be worth it in the end
You leave me for days at a time, and come back as if nothing had ever happened
But dear, when you left, everything went black
I cry myself to sleep as you slip out of my grip
I prey to whatever god there is that you're still alive
Do we accept the fact that this is reality
Or deny that there ever was a struggle
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
Feel you slip away beneath a euphoric wave
