You’re the substance I overinjected You’re the cigarette’s poison inside Tired from pulling my lips off your bottle While the addict in me was alive
Bring me down (down was how you found me)
And I can say that I’m finally free Of the sickness in me When I damaged myself for you No longer the same As the thing I became Well I damaged myself for you
Your perfectly pale reflection In the mirror of who I’d become But the cross-fade is finally over And my teeth are removed from your gun
And I can say that I’m finally free Of the sickness in me When I damaged myself for you No longer the same As the thing I became Well I damaged myself for you
It took me so long To let go of the wrong I knew The scene of the crime Was your hell but its time is through The chains are erased and I turn from the place Where I punished myself like a hostage enslaved by you
