Mainline

Unwrap the tourniquet, quit searching for the vein.
Stop trying to mainline your lies into my body.
We have searched heaven and hell and there's still no proof we will survive.
Call your angels, and have them armed!
Warn them against the thief of your heart.
Darling, quit biting your tongue.
It only leaves your words garbled and a mouth full of blood. �
Delete the numbers and pictures if you shall.
But my promise to you, you'll remember me still.
Hiding is useless, you've evaded the truth long enough.
You pretend to believe it is love and not lust.
Put your arms down, if you do not believe.
My child, you will never be stronger than me.
Do not force a smile upon seeing me enter a room.
I know what it is, I'm like poison to you.
Feel what I tell you to feel!
Let those tears fall from your brown eyes.
You think I didn't notice?
The hastily built cage around the one thing you claim to not have?
You're not heartless! �
That double shot you downed will never be strong enough to drown me out!
When will your guilt kick in, and attempt to kick me out?
I've invaded your bloodstream, like an infection you prayed for.
We weren't ready, but Here we are.
Take the tourniquet off, I'm ready for the full effect of you.
