Tearing Me Apart

Smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins

Fear in my eyes, panic in the way

(I don't think I'll make it out, make it through the day)

Clench my teeth and close my eyes

Just make this go away

Oh it's tearing me apart, all this pain inside

Liquor in my veins, panic on my mind

Tearing me apart, all this pain inside

Searching for the peace I will never find

Oh it's tearing me apart

Tearing me apart

I've got these chains around my feet

And they're dragging me to hell

The embers set my chest alight

A feeling I know all too well

(I'm in the mouth of the wolf now,

I can hear the words they say)

But I'm feeling oh so far

I feel so far away

Oh it's tearing me apart, all this pain inside

Liquor in my veins, panic on my mind

Tearing me apart, all this pain inside

Searching for the peace I will never find

The panic's stealing all my breath

Death is calling out my name

He knows I'm not afraid of dying

He knows to me it's all the same

But there is so much on the line

I have to find a better way

I have to find my own redemption

Fight the urge to drift away

I have to hold you in my heart

So I can live another day

Oh it's tearing me apart, all this pain inside

Liquor in my veins, panic on my mind

Tearing me apart, all this pain inside

Searching for the peace I will never find

Tearing me apart, oh it's tearing me apart
