Dope Sick Serenade

I said this would be the last time.

But I always say that right before.

She calls me sweet my little sin.

And I let her in.

Every time.

Crushed my heaven in a bent-up spoon

Prayed for heat in a motel room.

She kissed the cotton slid inside

Her warm deceit I can't outride.

Hands don't shake… she takes the wheel

She whispers low "Forget to feel."

I float beneath my rotting skin

Where even love feels paper thin.

Sweet girl sweet sweet sting

You cradle me better than anything.

Wrap my arms in bittersweet chains

And I Trade my breath for softer pains.

Sweet girl soft burn

Promise me I won't return.

You hum a hymn inside my head

A dope sick serenade for the nearly dead.

The walls don't talk but the silence screams

And sleep feels safer than my dreams.

She rides my veins like a lullaby

I close my eyes it's a kiss goodbye.

Her love's a needle thin and true

I'm hollowed out but stuck like glue.

And in the mirror my skin's too tight

My ghost looks back nothing feels right.

Sweet girl sweet sweet sting

You cradle me better than anything.

Wrap my arms in bittersweet chains

And I Trade my breath for softer pains.

Sweet girl soft burn

Promise me I won't return.

You hum a hymn inside my head

A dope sick serenade for the nearly dead.

I remember love like a flash of heat

But only crave what makes me weak.

She doesn't judge and doesn't lie

She holds me close but drains me dry.

My veins are maps I've long since lost

Each road I take comes at a cost.

I sold my soul for one more taste

Drifting lifeless in her embrace.

Sweet girl sweet sweet sting

You cradle me better than anything.

Wrap my arms in bittersweet chains

And I Trade my breath for softer pains.
