[Verse 1]
Cold turkey on a Tuesday
Sweat stains in my Sunday best
Teeth grind like broken glass
Clock laughs at my rotting chest
Peel my skin
Fingernails itch for a fix
Every promise that I made
Shakes loose like cheap bricks
[Chorus]
I’m crawling out my own sick head
White-knuckled on the edge of the bed
(Addict anthem, yeah, I know the score)
I’m screaming at the ghosts in my veins
Ripping off the rusted chains
I don’t want this hurt
I don’t want this hurt
Anymore
[Verse 2]
Bite marks on a Styrofoam cup
Voicemail from my dealer still saved
Every “just one more time”
Another freshly dug grave
Mom praying in the kitchen light
Says “baby, you’re stronger than this”
But the monster in my molars
Keeps begging for a kiss
[Chorus]
I’m crawling out my own sick head
White-knuckled on the edge of the bed
(Addict anthem, yeah, I know the score)
I’m screaming at the ghosts in my veins
Ripping off the rusted chains
I don’t want this hurt
I don’t want this hurt
Anymore
[Bridge]
[Band drops, toms and bass pulse]
Jitter in my jaw
Static under skin
Every single second
Dares me to give in
(But I won’t, I won’t, I won’t)
Spit out the poison
Shake through the night
If this is hell
I’ll learn to fight
[Chorus]
I’m crawling out my own sick head
White-knuckled on the edge of the bed
(Addict anthem, yeah, I know the score)
I’m screaming at the ghosts in my veins
Ripping off the rusted chains
I don’t want this hurt
I don’t want this hurt
Anymore
