lyrics

the first part is fire, the flying of sparks
the naive belief; this is it, this'll work
but when I've found something I will know this is nothing

the last part is sickness, the lump in my throat
the intoxication, I can't think I can't hurt
the calm before everything turns into scathing again

rolled pain into joints and smoked my love away
spat grief into bottles, I got sick of the taste
searched all my life just for something to waste
but the ache stays with me

the next part is running, the only way out
the pure trepidation, I practise my smile
but I can't convince anyone anything anyway

the worst part is knowing I wasted her time
there's love for her somewhere but it's not mine
said she couldn't be happy without me I pray it's a lie

rolled pain into joints and smoked my love away
spat grief into bottles, I got sick of the taste
searched all my life just for something to waste
but the ache stays with me
