The Drug in Me is You
Falling in Reverse
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I heard a knock upon my door the other day I opened it to find death staring in my face The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates Everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case My bodies tremblin' sends shivers down my spine Adrenaline kicks and shifts into overdrive, Your secrets keep you sick your lies keep you alive Snake eyes every single time you roll with crooked dice I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house I wrestle with my thoughts I shook the hand of doubt Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now! I've lost my god damn mind, It happens all the time, I can't believe I'm actually Meant to be here, Trying to consume, The drug in me is you And I'm so high on misery Can't you see! I got these questions always running through my head So many things that I would like to understand If we are born to die and we all die to live Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts? I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house I wrestle with my thoughts I shook the hand of doubt Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now! I've lost my god damn mind It happens all the time I can't believe I'm actually Meant to be here Trying to consume, The drug in me is you And I'm so high on misery Can't you see! I've lost Myself You tried to reach me but you just can't help me So long Goodbye You tried to save me it wont work this time! 'Cause now I've lost my fucking mind And there's no fucking time I can't believe I'm actually Meant to be here Trying to consume, The drug in me is you And I'm so high on misery Can't you see? Oh can't you see? Can't you see?
