Intoxicated
Can such lonely words be more beautiful?
Screaming pleas - just hear me out
I don't have words enough to express this...
The toxicity is mixed in a sea of doubt
They say all the time "it hurts like hell"
Maybe my personal hell has become my friend
Inescapable fire and shadows follow me
Too much to extend, I can't see the end
Intoxicated by love, incapacitated by fear
Escalating when you come near
Suffocated by doubt, Surprised in the light
That you still say I'm worth the fight
Intoxicated, elated, but it's all isolated
In the screams that won't disappear
Could someone else just get how I feel?
Screaming pleas - I'm desperate now
Take me out of the dark, don't let me return
Just save me from this somehow
I put myself here, so how is it fair?
I guess I need to get myself out of the fire
But as much as I loathe the consuming flames
The pain doesn't retire, it's getting more dire
Intoxicated by love, incapacitated by fear
Escalating when you come near
Suffocated by doubt, Surprised in the light
That you still say I'm worth the fight
Intoxicated, elated, but it's all isolated
In the screams that won't disappear
Beauty, pain, love's a flame
And part of it hurts like hell
Depression, obsession, and who's to blame?
I was alone the day that I fell
Intoxicated, elated, and it's all concentrated
In you, but I'd never tell
Intoxicated by love, incapacitated by fear
Escalating when you come near
Suffocated by doubt, Surprised in the light
That you still say I'm worth the fight
Intoxicated, elated, but it's all isolated
In the screams that won't disappear
Can such lonely words be expressed out loud?
I'm screaming, I'm pleading - just hear me out
