Patient Sixty-Seven
Antithesis
Here we go again
My addiction kicks in
I can’t fight this sinking feeling
Medicine to make you heal
Worth breaking just to feel
I’m not ready to admit
I loved like you never did
I can’t compromise again
This is how it’s always been
I’m stuck here wishing I could fix this
Fighting forgiveness
I fucking hate this sickness
Ignore the fading cries
I’m sick to my core
Seeing you die
If a love unconditional
Doesn’t feel fixable
Why does walking away
Still feel so difficult
Leave your broken spirit at the door
I can’t hope for closure like I did before
Why is this so hard to ignore
We can’t go on anymore
Why do I hurt those that I hold close
The same ones I always swore I needed most
You said I might as well tie the rope around her throat yourself
Watch you choke
Pretend I never heard you scream for help
(Ignore the fading cries
I’m sick to my core
Seeing you die)
But I can’t fucking walk away
Like I am anybody else
Tie the rope until it leaves
A mark you couldn’t make with your own teeth
We spin inside your carousel
But I’m not your friend when you don’t help yourself
I was so wrong to think we could repair
When all you do is leave me in despair
Leave all your lies at the fucking door
You and I are through forevermore
Leave your broken spirit at the door
I can’t hope for closure like I did before
Why is this so hard to ignore
We can’t go on anymore
Leave your broken spirit at the door
I can’t ignore, like I did before
