Methadone

Love like a needle full of methadone

Potent but not real, left you wanting more

Lipstick track marks bleeding red

Like Montagues and Capulets

For us, child, the stars refuse to shine

Why for us, child, do the stars refuse to shine?

I'm somewhere strung out on the lam

We wound up back here again

Like unstable chemicals

Combining only to explode

What would it take for you to notice?

I am a heart on fire

And all the world's a fuse, so don't get close

The trouble and the worth

Am I better off on my own?

Contaminated, quarantined then left alone

A shipment refused, address unknown

Damaged goods they soon forget

In choking dust that we got left

For us all, the stars refuse to shine

Tap the vein and light the match

We burn like stars before the crash

But for you there's still a chance

Just let go

What will it take for you to notice?

I am a heart on fire

And all the world's a fuse, so don't get close

The trouble and the worth

I'm better off on my own

On my own

Now there's nowhere to run

And now there's nowhere to hide

There's nothin' under the sun

We haven't already tried

What will it take for you to notice?

I am a hand grenade, pin already pulled, so don't let go

As we chase the sun, my shadow slows us down

Without me along, you're better off and I know

You're better off and I know

And I know
