lyrics

They say prolonging a craving just makes it sweeter
when you get your fix
the poison solves a problem
that didn't even used to exist
they say if you wait
for the hunger to die
you'll be purging the poison from your bones
in time.

but I've been evading
relating the the feeling of being alone
so I reach for a cigarette and your voice on the phone.
I know in time that everything dies.
So let me hide for just one night.

He said "the light is on the outside
and the door doesn't shut all the way"
his bathroom's like my heart I guess,
you don't get perfect privacy
and you gotta think ahead
if you wanna see clear,
would it be okay with you if I stay here?

but I've been evading
relating the the feeling of being alone
so I reach for a cigarette and your voice on the phone.
I know in time that everything dies.
So let me hide for just one night.

Cuz I can't seem to get over or move on
from any little poison I can get my hands on.
the wine and cigarettes, oh I felt this high before
but the whiskey of your words leaves me
stuck to the floor
I'm a sucker for a poem
I'm an addict of the story
I like being alone
just not so much in the early morning
I keep meaning to crawl
Out of this hole
but you keep making me forget
where it was
I was trying to go.
