The More You Pour

Crush my bones under your weight Make me feel again, I pray I let my blood sink in the floor because the more I fill, the more you pour I watch the smoke leap from my lips Slipping further with every kiss They say ignorance is bliss But how do you know when you're too far gone When it's been so damn long since you told right from wrong How far will you let this go Before you lose yourself and then everyone else Every day I fight this war Disturb the peace, storm the beach, then wash ashore Sound the alarm because I've lost control How do you know when you're too far gone When it's been so damn long since you told right from wrong How far will you let this go Before you lose yourself and then everyone else Are you ever at the edge to flirt with the thought of plunging Like maybe I'm safer dead, or maybe I'll feel something You lie unconscious on the bedroom floor Your brother shouts, bursting through the door The room grows dark behind his bloodshot eyes "Take me instead, I beg," he cries A bed of needles for your last release So settle in so you can rest in peace A diamond lost forever in the rough Lost in the rough You emptied yourself to make room for what's not enough
