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
