lyrics

She got lost inside the city
She drowned in the lights and all of her self-pity
And she walks along these streets
With a cigarette in hand and the pavement beneath her feet

She stumbles home at midnight
But she is blinded by all the streetlights and narrow sidewalks
She was swallowed by the town's talk

The drugs won't help her forget the things she hates
She was buried in the plotline and a sudden twist of fate
She longs to get her story straight
She wants to be in a conscious state
But the weight had pushed too hard, so she had to medicate

As the raindrops touch her face
She starts to realize that she deserves this cold embrace
She never listened and never learned
She got caught up in the chaos and took a few wrong turns

She staggers home past midnight
But she is blinded by all the headlights and narrow crosswalks
She was swallowed by her own talk

The drugs won't help her forget the things she hates
She was buried in the plotline and a sudden twist of fate
She longs to get her story straight
She wants to be in a conscious state
But the weight had pushed too hard, so she had to medicate

The world is speeding up as her heartbeat is slowing down
And the colors swirl as she collapses in her black gown
Secluded in the breakdown, her pulse begins the countdown
Now she can never turn around and prove she's not a letdown

The drugs won't help me forget the things I hate
She was buried in the springtime at the corner of Oak and Eighth

The drugs won't help her forget the things she hates
She was buried in the plotline and a sudden twist of fate
She longs to get her story straight
She wants to be in a conscious state
But the weight had pushed too hard, so she had to medicate

She had to medicate
She had to medicate
