Heroin Lyrics by Calling The Crows

2020

I guess this is being a functional human being
Suffocating fundamental feeling I need
Starving main arteries of oxygen
And the part of me that ever wants to let you in
Tying tighter tourniquets around our broken hearts
Fighting never to admit my world is falling apart
They say my life has just started but I've never felt so dead
Like the light inside departed only memories in my head
Stronger and faster but no longer that sure
In oncoming chapters, what's hunger running after
Fighting in a war I don't think I can win
Trying to ignore what's living in my skin
Whеre all my innocence has been instillеd with sin
In a head on collision with a person that I've never been

I'm no heroine character, and there are no heroes out there
Who aren't very scared
I need something real just to carry on
'Cuz I can't really feel without your heroin

Trying to hide I'm scared but always aware
It's just a front for everyone
And the person in the mirror
I've been searching for that missing person quite a while
It's written in these verses and behind fake smiles
Hidden right in plain sight, hitting on my off side
Perpetuating lies, didn't want to face the light
How come the wrong thing's the only thing that feels right
I don't want to regret when I reach the end of my life

Honest if I could erase my mistakes, I might rewrite or efface all this fate
Maybe rewind to the very same day that I entered this life
Or when I lost my faith
Fear somewhere along the way that I lost that soul
Now I don't really know where I left myself
I'm a shadow I'm a shell of someone else
I can scream I can yell but words don't come out when I say
God up in heaven know that I need Your help 'cuz

I'm no heroine character and there are no heroes out there
Who aren't very scared
I need something real just to carry on
'Cuz I can't really feel without your heroin

I didn't come this far so that I could let go, didn't fight so hard to roll over no
Wish the voices in my head would just leave me alone, but they won't
Faced with a choice and so I choice
Say I'm the sad dark type, yeah you got that part right
Been fighting rising rides for nearly all my life
And holding burning breath, but it's finally turning time
And the when they bury the dead
I'm taking back what's mine

I would use you like a drug just to make the spinning stop
And now I can't feel a thing
And on the other side nothing feels right
Is this all that's left for me

I'm no heroine character and there are no heroes out there
Who aren't very scared
I need something real just to carry on
'Cuz I can't really feel without your heroin

I had it all, you took that away
Destroyed my soul that once could still be saved
I didn't know that you would ruin me for all eternity
I had it all, you took that away
Destroyed my soul that once could still be saved
I didn't know that you would ruin me
For all eternity
