So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe

It's what you want

It's your amphetamine

Another night you're settling

For comfort in your bed

The more you fill

The more you're empty

You're never what you should be

Here is why you're sad

You're miserable

When he is close

So take another drink

Another drink will numb those senses

And make the most

Of flesh and bones

If it helps you

Fall asleep

I'm watching you change

It doesn't have to be this way

It gets harder everyday

So you keep numb to feel safe

Fuck what you know

Can't you see it's shallow?

Every time you swallow

Do you get a taste of what you've become?

Regrets, they wake you in the morning

You shower but you're not clean

Please just listen

I still remember the days

When you didn't feel the need to escape

And every demon you never face

Is the reason you're not safe

Please understand that you've had every chance

You've had all the time

All time in the world

You don't listen
