Deranged by Grief - Western Addiction

I just want to smile through the blood and bile

Crosses and frowns flipped upside down

I was alone until I was not

This forest floor reeks of dilettantes

Had thoughts of joy, health and happiness

If you tell a soul, I’ll eat your friends

Left me in the fog of Bleecker St

You have the gift of song but they chose me

Long road to Canaan for a crashing bore

I’m the only livid man in New York

I look pensive because I’m pissed

You glittered horribly and you won’t be missed

Without you, I’ll be deranged by grief

The throne will smoke from lightning on your shoulder

You got precious as I got older

Without you, I’ll be deranged by grief

All for you, it was all for pleasure

Now I’m sitting in high feather with you

Deranged by grief

Your approval means everything

Deranged by grief
