Matthew and the Atlas - Codeine

Kept on this bed of restlessness
Cannot move I cannot request
All of the dreams you left for me
All of the places we long to see
Pain is the river that runs through me
Ebbs and it flows constantly
Thought that I’d paid my dues then
That’s not how it works let’s not pretend

Codeine always at the scene
Maybe it’s just a part of me

Now beneath the wandering moon
Bed like an island feeling marooned
Cradle the thought of you near
Holding you close to keep out the fear
Needles and veins and memory lanes
Scars of mind and skin remains
Thankful for the beauty of love
Thankful for the stars above

Codeine always at the scene
Maybe it’s just a part of me
