[Intro]
[crackly male radio voice]
Staring at a bottle
Labels peeling
Hands keep shaking
Like they’re not even mine
Drink to burn the soul
Drink to dull the pain
If anybody’s listening
Call in
Say my name
[Verse 1]
[low male vocal register]
Bedroom floor
Smells like last night’s shame
Red cap rolling
Like it’s pointing out my blame
Staring at a cliff
On the cracked phone screen
Feet on the carpet
Head in the ravine
Please God
Help me
I’m tired
I’m small
If hurt is all I get
Then let me feel it all
[Chorus]
[female hypnotic vocal
Soft then swelling]
You want the pain
You think it proves you’re breathing
You light that fire
Just to watch it bleed you
“Burn me clean”
You say it like a prayer
If you need pain
I’ll hold you while you tear
[Verse 2]
[male vocal
A little rougher]
Ice on my tongue
Can’t cool this storm
Pictures on the dresser
Faces I’ve deformed
I drink to burn the soul
Till it’s ash and smoke
Then drink to dull the pain
Till the promise breaks and chokes
Please God
Help me
I’m begging through the buzz
If hurt is all I am
Then tell me who I was
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[female vocal
Hypnotic
Circling]
You say
“I need pain”
Like it’s the only language
You can’t unlearn
You say
“I need pain”
But every time you pour
You just forget what hurts
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[crackly male radio voice
Fading]
Staring at a bottle
One breath
One choice
If anybody’s out there
