James Songtext
von Connie Constance

I went on a self-destructive rampage last night
Now I′m paying for it, but can't afford the price
Don′t know how I got here, been happier here
Hadn't taken any drugs before this

So I took lots of Charlie
And drank 'til everything was blurry
In an Irish pub in Stokey
Lost my burning desire to live
In a couple lines of ketamine
Shut up my brain for a sec
And washed it all down with some sex
Took a cold shower at antisocial hours
And crawled back to my bed


Then I woke up to you
And your eyes glazed over like mine
Except you hadn′t had three bottles of wine
I′m coughing from smoking
You're groaning from a headache
And wishing I could crawl into your skin for a day
Then I woke up to you
And your nose bleed dripping like mine
Except you hadn′t had too many white lines
I'm coughing from smoking
You′re groaning from a headache
You're wishing for a drug that can take the pain away
I hope the drugs make you feel better
Whilst you′re trying to stay alive
I'm using mine to feel deader

I've been cornered
By all the thoughts I′ve tried to suppress
Feel like a coward
Cutting in the darkness in my mind with narco ticks
Don′t know how I got here
This was meant to be my year
Tonight I'll wear the mask and play the clown
Anything to forget

So I spent my weekly budget on tequila
Shots for the squad like I′m the geezer
Lost my burning desire to live
In a couple of E's and a nasty trip
Shut my brain up for a sec
And washed it all down with some sex
Sat on the roof with a Rollie
And crawled back to my bed


Then I woke up to you
And your eyes glazed over like mine
Except you hadn′t had three bottles of wine
I'm coughing from smoking
You′re groaning from a headache
And wishing I could crawl into your skin for a day
Then I woke up to you
And your nose bleed dripping like mine
Except you hadn't had too many white lines
I'm coughing from smoking
You′re groaning from a headache
You′re wishing for a drug that can take the pain away
I hope the drugs make you feel better
Whilst you're trying to stay alive
I′m using mine to feel deader
