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
