Icon for Hire - Iodine

26 1 0
                                    

I say I wanna be healthy, but I turn up the noise,
The IV drips a steady stream of poison.
I think I'm just in love with the feeling,
Break my bones so I can feel them healing.

Crazy is, I believe, the medical term,
When we wanna recover, but we don't wanna learn.
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times,
And gimme some more of that iodine.

I can't make reality connect,
I push 'til I have nothing left.
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies?
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies?

I say I wanna be healthy, but I quickly forget,
Will I sabotage all the good I've got left?
And passion's like a big fur coat,
It's made of dead things but it keeps me warm.

Crazy is, I believe, the medical term,
When we wanna recover, but we don't wanna learn.
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times,
And gimme some more of that iodine.

I can't make reality connect,
I push 'til I have nothing left.
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies?
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies?

I don't like pain but I bring it to light,
I don't like scars when I'm going for life.
I don't like tears when I'm starting to cry,
And then I realize I'm destroying my life.

I do this to myself,
I do this to myself!
Stop blaming someone else!
We do this to ourselves!

I can't make reality connect,
I push 'til I have nothing left.
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies?
I'll run in circles 'til I crash,
One day these steps will be my last.
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies?

But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singing these lullabies?
