Addict: Setting the World on Fire

Entry 10

Dear Someone,

I’m humming hallelujah.
I’m shaking but it’s ‘cause the pills haven’t taken effect.

“It's all a game of this or that, now versus then Better off against worse for wear And you’re someone who knows someone who knows someone I once knew And I just want to be a part of this The road outside my house is paved with good intentions Hired a construction crew, 'cause it's hell on the engine You are the dreamer and we are the dream I could write it better than you ever felt it So hum hallelujah, Just off the key of reason I thought I loved you It was just how you looked in the light A teenage vow in a parking lot "Till tonight do us part" I sing the blues and swallow them too My words are my faith to hell with our good name A remix of your guts-your insides X-rayed And one day we'll get nostalgic for disaster We're a bull, your ears are just a china shop I love you in the same way, there's a chapel in a hospital One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door Sometimes we take chances, sometimes we take pills I could write it better than you ever felt it”
