drained of sympathy by lies
resentment for the pain you hide
denied the thing that we both shared 
that filled the air between us
I wrapped myself in your poison tongue
a noose where innocence is hung
killed the thing that made me care 
for anyone but me

I’ve got powder for my nostrils 
pills to kill the pain...

distracted by reality
a bandaid for your self esteem
addiction the romantic theme
love is the drug.
