Swan Song

Lyrics

I fall to pieces every time Fall to my knees at the mere sight Of her standing in my door frame Feel my projections flood right in Transmission of serotonin Head light, chest tight and heart is racing Don't wait up but leave a light on There's no telling how long I'll be gone There seems no other way but to succumb I'm holding on But with this suitcase of pain I move slowly I need to move on The current is pulling me under I'm gone, throw me a line, hold it tight She's the opioid I just can't kick Tie me off, I need another fix If I go too long it makes me queasy I hang upon her every move A bat of a lash can tweak my mood She is the sun and I'm a satellite That's a wrap, this is my swan song I've been playing this role for too long I'll take my final bow, hold your applause I'm holding on But with this suitcase of pain I move slowly I need to move on The current is pulling me under I'm gone, throw me a line, hold it tight Put my feet in the fire Like a moth to a flame Here's to no more getting burned
