Lyrics
YOUR NARCOTIC
You are crippled by the past
You are restless as the tide
You are defined by your bitterness
You don't know your own mind.
So you tell everybody your glass is always empty,
You complain you've been crushed in the machine,
But the truth is, suffering is your narcotic,
And you never do it silently.
You hate standing all alone
You hate running with the crowds
You have burned away your smile
You go looking for the clouds.
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS
You stay out of the sunlight, You walk on the edge of a knife,
You will martyr yourself to your own misperceptions of life.
You're so high on hostility, How could you understand?
Time is never our master, it's only the shifting of sand.
You don't want to play the game
You just want to pay the price
You will have your cross to bear
You will make your sacrifice.
And you don't want to be saved
And you don't want to be free
But you need to be right
So you choose this misery.
REPEAT PRE - CHORUS
