Wake Me When I'm Cured

Behind closed doors
We constantly stroked our addictions
You got me hooked
Onto this deadly affliction

You fed my hunger
And tried to feed right back from me
You should've known it wasn't happening
I couldn't wake up

Turn off my conscience
Let my mind turn pure
Nothing but time can fix what has been lost
And it's killing me
So wake me up when I'm cured

You left me to die
When I had nothing left for you
Looking to get your fix
You ignored that I cared so much for you

With my lover now
The habit's scars are leaving a mark now
Skin to skin, my mind is breaking
I can't see the end

Turn off my conscience
Let my mind turn pure
Nothing but time can fix what has been lost
And it's killing me
So wake me up when I'm cured
