Drugs and Love

(I still hear it when I think back. Her cry – So shrill. That night damned us all. I just sat back like a voyeur with my hands tied. It still haunts me, and to this day I am faced with this juxtaposition of guilt and pain.)

Any kind of chemical romance – I will take with me to bed

Anything to drown out all the voices, inside my head

Make me numb

With Drugs and Love

What will save me from my solitude?

I’ve nothing left to turn to

Help me find a way to medicate

(I sometimes feel like I may as well have pulled that trigger myself…)

Any kind of tepid distraction I will pour myself into

Baby I just need a little reaction – warm like a tomb

Make me numb

With Drugs and Love

What will save me from my solitude?

I’ve nothing left to turn to

Help me find a way to medicate

Just help me erase

The memories

Help me find a way

To numb this pain

Just something… I’ve nothing left to offer you, I

I even lost myself.

But I’m desperate

To never fade away

Make me numb

With Drugs and Love

What will save me from my solitude?

I’ve nothing left to turn to

Help me find a way to medicate

(But, nobody can understand what he was like. I wonder often if I’d have preferred that one night of screaming aloud, or the decades of being muffled.)
