Dead Perennials - Since Dawn

These pills made sick
Washing them down with the same poison left on my lips
From the last time we kissed
We can be honest, it didn't mean shit

So much time that I have spent
Trying to be a ghost, just as though we never met
Is that too much to ask, too much to admit
Blacking out the past, but I'll never fool it

I've been drinking since dawn
Self-medication while I keep on
Hiding behind the words that I write
Whatever helps me sleep at night
The demon in me is winning the fight
I might care if I wasn't getting high

Looking back at me is just a shell
All he's saying is I'm bad for my health
Someone tell me the last thing that I felt
Besides waking up drenched in my own sweat

To what lengths did I go
To be a stranger to myself, it wasn't me when we last spoke
In the end was it worth reaching so low
I can't pretend I don't have the scars to show

I've been drinking since dawn
Self-validation through the words in my songs
While I pretend that I'm alright
When really I can't sleep at night
The demon in me is winning the fight
I might care if I wasn't getting high

Yeah I might care
I might care if I wasn't getting high
I might care
I might care if I wasn't getting high
I might care
