Once

[Verse 1]
Keep your head inside the bottle
And I’ll just keep cutting up lines
You spend your life in constant sorrow
And I’ll just pretend that I’m fine

[Chours]
Cause only once the drugs are done
Do I feel almost human numb
And only once my head’s unclear
Do I feel like dying right here

[Verse 2]
You keep your lies for those who’ll listen
And I’ll just keep borrowing time
The hesitation when you’re missing
All of the moments in life go by and

[Chours]
Only once the drugs are done
Do I feel almost human numb
And only once my head’s unclear
Do I feel like dying right here

[Verse 3]
You keep your problems so well-hidden
That even your tears feel like smiles
That I will die here is a given
And no one will ever know why

[Chours]
Only once the drugs were done
Did I feel almost human numb
And only once my head was clear
Did I feel safe dying right here
