Drugs over love

Verse 1)

Empty chairs and whispered names

A broken mirror, shattered frames

They promise me the world and more

Then leave me lonely on the floor

A carousel of highs and lows

But they're just roles, a puppet show

And all their words are just a hum

That can't compare to what's to come

​(Chorus)

'Cause the needle sings a clearer tune

Than all their promises under the moon

The pill bottle's got my back, I know

It won't ever get up and go

Love can hurt and people fail

But this chemical on my tongue, it won't derail

It's a perfect high, a perfect haze

Better than a love that never stays

​(Verse 2)

They tell me, "find your soul's true mate"

"Open your heart, it's not too late"

But every time I let them in

They show me all the hurt and sin

They're busy with their own desires

Just setting off their little fires

And I'm just fuel, I'm just a flame

Another pawn in their little game

​(Chorus)

'Cause the needle sings a clearer tune

Than all their promises under the moon

The pill bottle's got my back, I know

It won't ever get up and go

Love can hurt and people fail

But this chemical on my tongue, it won't derail

It's a perfect high, a perfect haze

Better than a love that never stays

​(Bridge)

Maybe it's a foolish choice

To trade a hand for a silent voice

But this silence is a gentle friend

A beginning with no bitter end

It takes the pain and washes clean

The most beautiful, lonely scene

​(Chorus)

'Cause the needle sings a clearer tune

Than all their promises under the moon

The pill bottle's got my back, I know

It won't ever get up and go

Love can hurt and people fail

But this chemical on my tongue, it won't derail

It's a perfect high, a perfect haze

Better than a love that never stays

​(Outro)

Yeah, better than a love that never stays

Lost in this perfect, blurry maze.

This perfect, blurry maze.

I'm lost in this perfect, blurry maze.
