lyrics

Codeine

Screw February
It just about killed me
I aged prematurely till only a fraction remained

Broken and beaten
Depressed and depleted
Defeated I almost gave in to the pain

But I'm glad you were there
You made me want to come down from the chair

I wouldn't have made it without you
Without you and codeine


Two every four to six hours
Then stand in the shower
With barely the power to open the drain

I can't fall asleep standing up
I spit in a cup and pertuss
And pertuss
Till my body erupts into flames

But at least you were there
Keeping me sane with your hand in my hair

I couldn't have made it without you
WIthout you and codeine


Woke up with a start and a fear in my heart as I ran for the door
But not even one star could cut through the dark of that smothering force
I saw no solution to alter my course
And stared at the sky like a corpse

But as long as you're there
I 'll have a reason to come up for air

I couldn't make it without you
