Kill the Lights - Foxblood

It comes, it stays wave after wave

I guess you’d call it a tirade

Rolls in and breaks like pins and needles, and I’m a slave

To a rising waterline headspace

I am numb but in disgrace

So I shake and sweat and puke this out

All over my bed frame

Breaking pills in half to avoid the tolerance next time I go down this path

White knuckles clenching tightly to the aftermath

‘Put down the bottle' they say

Or it’s an early grave

‘Let yourself heal, this’ll go away'

But I swear my darkness lies in wait

Kill the lights, crawl inside myself again

Kill the lights because I can see the end

Kill the lights, I’m beside myself again

Kill the lights, you wanna die tonight my friend?

They said we’re surely set to fade

Like wilting flowers on a grave

So how the fuck can I save this?

I can barely save myself

Can’t seem to save myself

Never cease to pull me under

My own mind tears me asunder

Slip back to the depths within as the pills kick in and I drown in it

Check 1, 2 OK still sane

Can you feel it running through your veins?

With that same old endless rain and the goddamn migraines and stomach pains

And I can feel it coming over me

I can tell you a few things about half empty

They said we’re surely set to fade

Like wilting flowers on a grave

So how the fuck can I save this?

I can barely save myself

I’ve got a comfort wine

Do drugs from time to time

I told you I felt fine

You said I’d lost my shine

Kill the lights, you wanna die tonight?

Kill the lights, I’m beside myself again

Kill the lights, you wanna die tonight my friend?

Can’t seem to save myself
