Where The Light Leaves Us

I need help lately
And I feel ugly
When I am weak
Silhouette
Starved like my attention
A shapeless intervention
That I try not to see

Please be different now
Be different now
A question I can't ignore

How does it end?
Always chasing the afterglow
You're at it again
It's starting feel like this is it
And I wanted you to know
We're already dead
In love with the feeling I know we can never get back

Paint it black
Watchful death in another dream
My Benzedrine
I can't wake up
And don't even try anymore

In my bed
Tongue-tied in the mornin'
Thoughts I've been ignoring
Crawl right out of me
I confess
And fill my mouth with fiction
It tastes like my addiction
Until I fall asleep

Please be different now
Be different now
It's just like it was before

How does it end?
Always chasing the afterglow
You're at it again
It's starting feel like this is it
And I wanted you to know
We're already dead
In love with the feeling I know we can never get back

I deflect
Brand new act in another scene
My guillotine
It wakes me up
I kept it clean

I know you're right
No one likes deliverance
It's no surprise
My soul is blind
I did my time
Never asked to see forever
It tastes divine
To live and die inside your mind
