V1:
It's like a bullet through my lungs
and the air pours into the street.
Like sideshows in train cars
Where I'm always playing the lead.
Like the questions left unanswered
And an ineffective vaccine.
Like a promise to conquer my fears
When all I feel is defeat.
(Yeah)
V2:
It's like an old man on his death bed
And he can't remember his name
Like flowers in the springtime
For the final frost to claim
Like the words left unspoken
And language that's profane
Like a song that has no meaning
When it reaches the refrain
(Yeah)
V3:
Amidst all the moments
that I'm addicted to the pain
Your kiss is like heroin,
Your voice is like rain
And it's such a goddamn chore
To keep depression at bay
But your eyes keep me focused
And your words keep me sane
