Holding Absence Drugs And Love
[Intro]
"I still hear it when I think back. Her cry...so shrill. That night damned us all. I just sat back like a voyeur with my hands tied. It still haunts me. And to this day, I am faced with this juxtaposition of guilt and pain."
[Verse 1]
Any kind of chemical romance
I will take with me to bed
Anything to drown out all the voices inside my head
[Chorus]
Make me numb
With drugs and love
What'll save me from my solitude?
I've nothing left to turn to
Help me find a way to medicate
[Post-Chorus]
"I sometimes feel like I may as well have pulled that trigger myself."
[Verse 2]
Any kind of tepid distraction
I will pour myself into
Baby, I just need a little reaction
Warm like a tomb
[Chorus]
Make me numb
With drugs and love
What'll save me from my solitude?
I've nothing left to turn to
Help me find a way to medicate
[Bridge]
Just help me erase
The memories
Help me find a way
To numb this pain
Just something
I've nothing left to offer you, I
I even lost myself
But I'm desperate to never fade away
[Chorus]
Make me numb
With drugs and love
What'll save me from my solitude?
I've nothing left to turn to
Help me find a way to medicate
[Outro]
"But...nobody can understand what he was like. I wonder often if I'd have preferred that one night of screaming aloud, or the decades of being muffled."
