lyrics

So many tiny pinhole scars,
Formed into one entity.
I knew I'd take this all too far,
And that you were bad for me.
But I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop.
You were always in my veins.
I couldn't stop, I just couldn't stop.
And your shadow still remains.

I'd kill for one last hit of you,
But I know it would kill me too.
I'm stranded in between two planes,
It's slowly driving me insane.
Dissonance between wants and needs,
This is where the demon feeds.
Twisting and splitting me in two,
I'd kill for one last hit of you.

I should have quit you long ago,
Locked the door and lost the key.
I guess it all just goes to show,
I'm my own worst enemy.
But I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop.
Wormed your way into my heart.
I couldn't stop, I just couldn't stop,
And it tore my life apart.

I'd kill for one last hit of you,
But I know it would kill me too.
I'm stranded in between two planes,
It's slowly driving me insane.
Dissonance between wants and needs,
This is where the demon feeds.
Twisting and splitting me in two,
I'd kill for one last hit of you.

I can't sort out the truth and lies.
What was real? What was a dream?
This is how my world dies,
With a whisper not a scream.
And I had to stop, I had to stop.
The dragon chase had to end.
I had to stop, I just had to stop.
Find a way to start again.

I'd kill for one last hit of you,
But I know it would kill me too.
I'm stranded in between two planes,
It's slowly driving me insane.
Dissonance between wants and needs,
This is where the demon feeds.
Twisting and splitting me in two,
I'd kill for one last hit of you.
