Before The Lights Went Out

Fill me up, pour me out, wash your name out of my mouth
I am ready to be clean
Burn my lungs and she was gone, long before the lights went on
God I hope she’s done with me

Do you beg? Do you pray? Tell me how you get away
From the voices in your head
I am lost, I’ve been done long before the lights went on
Someone please put me to bed
Cause I, I am not well
And she knows, she knows, she knows how
To bend me to her will

Calling out in the street, have you got something for me?
There’s a hunger to be fed
There was ash in my mouth long before the lights went out
But I don’t recall just what I said

Do you gamble? Do you bet? Can you risk the luck you have
For a temporary high?
Shaking hands, it was done, long before the lights went on
Did it leave you satisfied?
Cause you, you are not well
And I know, I know, I know how to bend you to my will
Yeah, you know, you know, you know I, I am not well
And I’ll give you what you want
So take what you will

So calm down, come down with me
Come down with me
Fill me up, pour me out
I am ready to be clean
