You�re lying in the corner on a hardwood floor
With a mind still ringing from the day before
A thief whose only motive is to fight off the gloom
And you�ve strewn your dreams all across the room
Oh, my friend, you must slow down
Now, you can�t see past your own feet on the ground
Treat me like nothing; well, you�re nothing, too
But I�d give my whole honest life to you
Why do you do it?
You�ll only tighten the noose, oh no
And you may never undo it -
It�s always hard when you�ve nowhere to go
But I can�t help thinking
You�ve been so silent inside, I know
And my words don�t sink in
But you�ve been sinking more than you know
It�s a kick that�s gone on for far too long
You won�t have to ask me twice before I, too, move on
Though I�ll stand by you, I won�t stand for this
Those marks on your arms are just too hard to miss
That shit�s been in your veins one too many times
And you�ve quite nearly blown your fucking mind
I know all you need is a little relief
But you�ve been killing something inside of me...
