"Opiate" lyrics

"Opiate"

Walking along the surface of what's real, I blur the lines
But now it seems the edge is where I feel the most alive

Burning to ashes before my eyes is all I've created (all I've created)
The only question left on my mind is how I'll escape it (I can't escape it)

I hear you calling my name
Do you feel your broken heart return to life?
My spirit bends and it breaks
Is it worth the price paid for these moments?
I tried to throw you away
Can you feel your withered body slowly die?
But nothing else feels the same
To regret the life that you have chosen

Nothing in this world comes close to
How I feel when I am with you
Nothing fucking compares
Every night, swear it's the last time, but I lied
Take your pity with you, and leave me to die
Leave me

Now I'm all alone, starting to hope that I don't survive this
The end of the rope chokes my throat, and all I see is violence
I knew all along, I'm not strong enough to break these habits
Got lost in a song, now it's gone and I can't take the silence

I hear you calling my name
Do you feel your broken heart return to life?
My spirit bends and it breaks
Is it worth the price paid for these moments?
I tried to throw you away
Can you feel your withered body slowly die?
But nothing else feels the same
To regret the life that you have chosen

I hear you calling my name
Now I'm all alone and I know that I won't survive this
I feel my fragile spirit bend to a break
As the rope chokes my throat, and my vision is violence
I couldn't throw you away
Thought that I was strong, but I'm wrong, just a slave to habit
Lost in a song, but the meaning is gone, and I can't take the silence
