Lyrics

I injected you into my veins
Switched lines, not lanes
It came easier than alcohol
And wet cigars in a stranger's bed
I have existential dread
While rotting in my own head
Scrolling away the years
Bottling up stagnant tears
My neighbours think I'm insane
I'm not it's a game in my brain
Travelling won't solve my problems
Meds won't numb pain
No answer came, not in the Novacain
The edge of what was meant to be
Not victory, a dirty escape
Guilty pleasure on a rampage
Every step becomes a mission
Every floor a clearer queue
I'm not chasing definition
I'm simply here and that's new
I took your name into my veins
Changed my route but not my aim
You came easier than control
Than smoke and noise and restless soul
My neighbours think I'm insane
I'm not it's a game in my brain
Travelling won't solve my problems
Meds won't numb pain
No answer came, not in the Novacain
The edge of what was meant to be
Not victory, a dirty escape
Guilty pleasure on a rampage
I have existential dread
While rotting in my own head
Scrolling away the years
Bottling up stagnant tears
My neighbours think I'm insane
I'm not it's a game in my brain
Travelling won't solve my problems
Meds won't numb pain
No answer came, not in the Novacain
The edge of what was meant to be
Not victory, a dirty escape
Guilty pleasure on a rampage
