So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe Lyrics

It's what you want
It's your amphetamine
Another night you're settling
For comfort in your bed

The more you fill
The more you're empty
You're never what you should be

Here is why you're sad:
You're miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you to fall asleep

I'm watching you change
It doesn't have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe

f**k what you know
Can't you see it's shallow?
Every time you swallow
Do you get a taste of what you've become

Regrets, they wake you in the morning
You shower but you're not clean
Please just listen

You're miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses
And make the most of flesh and bones
If it helps you fall asleep

I'm watching you change
It doesn't have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe

I still remember the days
When you didn't feel the need to escape
And every demon you never face
Is the reason you're not safe

Please understand that you've had every chance
You've had all the time
All the time in the world
Please understand that you've had every chance
You've had all the time
All the time in the world

You don't listen, you don't listen, you don't listen…
