These days I'm a hit and run, left the scene as I coughed up blood

Stayed inside, hid from the sun, all jammed up like a loaded gun

Even the nightlife's just too bright, so I never step outside

Blackened lungs and bloodshot eyes keep me up but not alive

Just holding on

There's a lesson here but I'm not catching on

Cause the taste of it still lingers on my tongue

Such a bitter ending taste of what's become

The only drug I didn't love

Breathe deep leave ground, can't get to sleep so I just pass out

Fight the words before they leave my mouth

Bite the tongue, but I just can't tell if it's too late to save myself

Hit the ground but the bottom dropped out

Lost and found my way around

It's not new to me, yeah I'm used to it by now

There's a lesson here but I'm not catching on

Cause the taste of it still lingers on my tongue

Such a bitter ending taste of what's become

The only drug I didn't love

Looking for a way, an out

Release, somehow

You're lost and now it's pulling me under

We're all allowed our ups and downs in times of doubt

We all go through it just holding on

(These days I'm a hit and run)

There's a lesson here but I'm not catching on

Cause the taste of it still lingers on my tongue

Such a bitter ending taste of what's become

The only drug I didn't love
