A master actor, a perfect liar
All smiles played out with expert timing
It starts like rust, slow and silent
But grows like fire, swift and violent
I walk much slower now I've got no direction
All bends are blind, all cracks chasms
I love and hate in equal measures the freedom from precision
That living like this offers, but habits are so easily formed
And not so easily forgotten
It's nothing that some wine can't sort out
Hit the offy, back a bottle
Drop two sleeping pills and hope to pass out
The run has got me spinning around and down and out
I hate the person I've become
Hate the foil, hate the filters
Hate the blister packs but I won't stop
The run has got me spinning around and down and out
Praying that the clarity of morning brings
A peace to ease the mourning of
A loss of control as two lives split in half from a whole
She'd say 'I miss you when you're gone'
And I would wish that I was off anywhere else
I'm sorry, when I said I didn't love you
What I meant was I hate myself
