Hooked Up

I am floating, I don't know who you are But the light is so warm And you stand at a distance Surprised to see a stranger Holding a hand out for you You were a shadow in the summer When the sun was baring down on me I heard you singing in the air With steam in your lungs The world was bright when we first met But we're hooked up to machines now That keep us acting sane And as I look upon you I loose my will to live Cause all that keeps you breathing is that thing they put you in And all that keeps me thinking are the drugs under my skin They have me up on morphine Your sister wants to pull the plug My mama wont stop crying 'cause I'm quite on the drugs You move once and a while But it's just not enough I used to feel and you use to be here But now we're just ghosts surrounded by friends They I say I'm getting better I'm just faking to get by because maybe if I act like I used to Maybe they'll let us die But we're hooked up to machines now That keep us acting sane And as I look upon you I loose my will to live Cause all that keeps you breathing is that thing they put you in And all that keeps me thinking are the drugs under my skin You used to sing about about sunshine and roses And I used to listen and pretend you were good And the sun use to rise and the sun used to set Now everything's gray because you left my world I can't even scream any more We had it all then we threw it away on a dream And I'm floating and you've flown away Now we are strangers and your not really here I can't take it any more! I can't loose you any more! We're hooked up to machines now That wont leave us at peace And as you look upon me you will loose your will to live Cause all that keeps you breathing is that thing they put you in And all that keeps me thinking are the drugs under my skin
