lyrics

Your eyes they flash
My heart it beats
Still you're here sipping whiskey with me
No water will grace your lips
Nor will mine
With these words my only weapon
I write to make myself whole again
As these words
Spill out of my pen
You turn to talk to our friends

Synapses slow and you become sweet
who needs these chemicals I put in me

Moments of lucidity
flash back to me when you leave
to go out and smoke a cigarette
you're just a casual hypocrite
but I believe you when you kiss me
Oh I take it so literally

Synapses slow and you become sweet
who needs these chemicals I put in me

The way you move your tongue over mine
has me so preoccupied
with your graying hair
your green eyes
how many years are left inside
how many years are left to deny
how many years are left inside

Synapses slow and you become sweet
who needs these chemicals I put in me
