Never

Just a boy on the party line

Drifting through space time

Grab a car and take a drive

a grave where bad habits lie

Dance a little ritual

Resurrect a demon

Hand me the mask

Let it live another season

*

Possessive disconnect

Chemicals control me

Money to burn

Suicidal and lonely

I know these streets

When the lights go down

I could hit up every single house

Along the relapse highway

*

Xanax and cigarettes and PJ Harvey

Blowing smoke through a window

Inhibition falling

Take a drink with some opiates

I feel I'm warming

Then the lights go down

The lights go down

*

On the edge of a knife we both played our hands

Who came out on top of this one night stand?

There's so few places that I would say always

But quite a few places I should've said never.

You were just a girl

You were living in the borderline

Fractured identity

And looking for a good time

Functional addict

Ex-model burnout

You knew how to shoot

So you loaded your rifle

*

Set your aim on me

I'm the one that brought the party

Walking pharmacy

With a loaded bank account

Pulled the trigger - took your shot

Left me there bleeding

I should've known better

You were far too easy

*

Xanax and cigarettes and PJ Harvey

Blowing smoke through a window

Inhibition falling

Take a drink with some opiates

I feel I'm warming

Then the lights go down

The lights go down

*

On the edge of a knife we both played our hands

Who came out on top of this one night stand?

There's so few places that I would say always

But quite a few places I should've said never.

*

We said we'd save each other

We walked beneath the threshold

Church bells

Decadence

We both said “forever”

Bought the house in woods

Throwing house parties

On the weekends

Out in the middle of nowhere

*

But it was just a spiral

Got caught up in the vortex

When you touched me

It felt like needles

Never knew how many had

Warmed my spot

In the bed - Where I died - In your crimes

Please let me out

*

Xanax and cigarettes and PJ Harvey

Blowing smoke through a window

Inhibition falling

Take a drink with some opiates

I feel I'm warming

Then the lights go down

The lights go down

*

On the edge of a knife we both played our hands

Who came out on top of this one night stand?

There's so few places that I would say always

But quite a few places I should've said never.

*

This is what I get for living in the moment

This is what I get for never asking questions

This is what I get for driving on the party line

Now I'm just a ghost watching others drive the same line.

Silence turned consent - complicit in my demise

Silence turned consent - complicit in my demise

Silence turned consent - complicit in my demise

Silence turned consent - complicit in my demise
