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
