Substance Abuse

I've been counting down the weeks till you come back,
Slipping into ways of my lethal past.
It's cyanide I'm sipping in my crystal glass,
Fumes for oxygen in my lungs till you come back.

Keep me warm, hold me tight,
Be the substance to get me through the night.
Be my sin, be my love,
All I need to fall asleep is for you as my drug.
Give me love, give me love
Be my drug, be my drug.

Time is ticking and I'm slipping farther into you,
Even though distance pains in truth.
It's Valium I'm mixing into liquid courage drinks.
Clouds for clear vision when I begin to think.

Keep me warm, hold me tight,
Be the substance to get me through the night.
Be my sin, be my love,
All I need to fall asleep is for you as my drug.
Give me love, give me love
Be my drug, be my drug.

You're so far away and he's so close,
You must understand it.
For now I just need him as a distraction,
You must understand it.
He's like the sugar,
When I'm addicted to something else .
He's my distraction,
When I'm addicted to you.

Keep me warm, hold me tight,
Be the substance to get me through the night.
Be my sin, be my love,
All I need to fall asleep is for you as my drug.
Give me love, give me love
Be my drug, be my drug,
Give me substance, be my substance.
