Methadone

Love's like a needle full of methadone.
Potent but not real, left you wanting more.

Lipstick, track marks, bleeding red.
Like Montagues and Capulets.
For us child, the stars refuse to shine.
Oh why for us child, do the stars refuse to shine?

Somewhere strung out on the lam.
We wound up back here again.
Like unstable chemicals,
Combining only to explode.

What would it take for you to notice?
I am a heart on fire.
And all the world's a fuse,
So don’t get close.
The trouble and the worth
Am I better off on my own?

Contaminated, quarantined, then left alone.
A shipment refused, address unknown.
Damaged goods they soon forget.
In choking dust where we got left.
For us all, the stars refuse to shine.

Tap the vein and light the match
We burn like stars before the crash
But for you there’s still a chance
Just let go

What would it take for you to notice?
I am a heart on fire.
And all the world's a fuse,
So don’t get close
Trouble and the worth
I’m better off on my own
On my own

Now there’s nowhere to run
And yeah there’s nowhere to hide
There’s nothing under the sun
We haven’t already tried

What will it take for you to notice?
I am a hand grenade, pin already pulled so don’t let go
As we chase the sun, my shadow slows us down.
And without me along, you’re better off and I know
You’re better off and I know
And I know
