Overdose Lyrics by Jay Johnson

0

Verse 1
Slashed wrists
Bruises on her head
Unexplained red stains soaked into her bed
Unexplained red stains all over her clothes
Just a little more, as the darkness begins to grow
Pain is such a bore until you…
Overdose
Who cares if she does it to make herself feel right
Who cares if she does it to make her mind take flight
Our demons are only revealed in the darkest of nights

Chorus
What does it matter if the knife goes on the cake at least she doesn't have to ache
What does it matter if the knife goes in with a twist at least it's not going on her wrist
What does it matter if the knife goes on her wrist at least it's not going in her chest
What does it matter if the knife goes in her chest maybe just maybe it's for the best

Verse 2
Blemishes on your face are like the landmarks of a town
Still you lay foundations to conceal your frown
So you keep on keeping to yourself
'Cause you've discovered the truth, that people are bad for your health

Chorus
What does it matter if the knife goes on the cake at least she doesn't have to ache
What does it matter if the knife goes in with a twist at least it's not going on her wrist
What does it matter if the knife goes on her wrist at least it's not going in her chest
What does it matter if the knife goes in her chest maybe just maybe it's for the best

Bridge
There's no method to the madness that keeps you sane
I know you're not looking for happiness, just a little less pain
There's no method to the madness that keeps you sane
I know you're not looking for happiness, just a little less pain

Outro
I know you can win the fight over those seas
Don't give in to the demons of the night, don't overdose please
