lyrics

Smiles and halos sign me off
And tear these pages from books you know
As it all comes back to you
Pass the bottle when clarity returns
The counterfeit relief.
A sleep to earn
A rest that’s overdue

These sticks and stones will break my bones
These hidden scars will show

Headlights. Fractures
Fix me with steady hands, with confidence
Recommend to take. Be normal for a day
Relieve you from this game

Drown this wreck in a sea of cures
Letters from medics, melodies assure
The colours change
Tablets make way around my veins
Pills can leave me feeling strange
It’s better this way

To fix this life, to be approved
I promise I won’t let you lose

These antidotes stick in my throat
