lyrics

How can you leave me here in this way
now these days after so many days that you took away from me directly
how could have me slumped over so many bars
taking me from just where you’d like me
and now you’re going to leave me alone here to suffer by myself
this is an insufferable injustice you told me you would always help
i was assured you would numb any pain no matter how hard it came and came again
and now here I am sweating it out on the floor without anybody to give me any advice
funny funny
how it comes one and twice three times more and I’m retching
again
who the hell would get me into this mess
you were supposed to love me
I was told you would always love me
it’s what my father taught me
it’s what he showed me

and the viper comes creeping out sometimes from my insides
and it says things that I don’t like
It says things that I would otherwise try to avoid
but it’s true
and they’re all real
and I can’t help it not for you not for me, not for anybody else
It’s the way it is and I’m in this hell
I need help
from this devils ride I’m in
but I can’t let go of the handlebars
because I’m going to damn fast
and I’ve been holding on too long now
I’ve turned into a ghost
