Opiate

I just wanted to feel better
Now I sweat here in the dark
Oh, I'm struggling to remember
How I even let this start

You said you'd heal me
That you'd reveal the
Better version of myself
You're only stealing
You use me up and
Just to leave me on the shelf

Said you'd free me from these gallows
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
Not a lantern in my cell

You're an artificial solace
You're a counterfeit relief
Always meet me at my lowest
Just to multiply my grief

I just wanted to feel something
Really anything at all
But now it's taking higher doses
To get back to my default

You said you'd heal me
That you'd conceal this
Gaping hole inside my heart
Just one more gram, you're such a scam
I should've known it from the start

Said you'd free me from these gallows
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
You're a lantern in my cell

You're an artificial solace
You're a counterfeit relief
Always meet me at my lowest
Just to multiply my grief

You said you'd free me from these gallows
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
Not this lantern in my cell

You're an artificial solace
Just a chemical relief
Always meet me at my lowest
And take everything from me
