lyrics

Keep me close and medicate the pain
Are you the loss or the gain?
Wishing to keep these things the same
Feeling too pale and plain
And then the room starts to spin again

Keep me close and medicate the pain
Are you the loss or the gain?
Wishing to keep these things the same
Feeling too pale and plain
You were the rose in the frame

So say you lost it all

And you’ll wait on my call
Let you down after all
I want to be so proud and pure
But I’m just stuck and so unsure

A mirror reflects what you don’t want to see
But still we are longing for more
You glance and you crave all that you’ll never be
Accepting the things you ignore

And you’ll wait on my call
Let you down after all
I want to be so proud and pure
But I’m just stuck and so unsure

There’s a word I’ve been thinking about
It’s a word that I can’t say out loud

So help me out now

Maybe I need a pill to balance my brain
Pull away the pain so I can feel the same

And you’ll wait on my call
Let you down after all
I want to be so proud and pure
But I’m just stuck and so unsure
