I never deserved it, the drug you gave me
Never earned a single dose
Yet you kept on giving it, as if you were the junkie
whenever I'd let you come close

Time's a shitty doctor, and Silence a sneaky bitch
but they taught me what no one else could-
I'm the worst kind of addict
and the worst kind of coward
guess deep down we both understood

I could survive a thousand cold shoulders
as long as none of them's yours

so I stole what you gave and ran back in my cave
and kept coming back on all fours

As you kept standing there, exposed,
it seemed like you must have been mad
Your madness, my love, is the drug I still crave
and the guts I so wish that I had




One could mistake time for a healer or silence for peace
you might as well see it that way
as I swore to you to keep my storms on a leash
and my cravings hidden away.
