Modern Junkie Lyrics

I get a shooting pain from the tip of my finger

Up through my forearm all the way to my shoulder

I feel it constantly in times of stress and anxiety

But the pain always fades when you smile at me

Two months ago

My life was better than it's ever been

And I'm not sure what's changed

But everything has caved in

Maybe these days I'd like to think I'm a little better

But I'd still throw my life away for five seconds of pleasure

Now my face needs a shave and my hair needs a cut

So I can look my best when I fuck everything up

Oh

Oh

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread

I've seen more debauchery and been more depraved

Than any man in history before 1998

Then she finds herself out on a boat

With a man who abuses her to help himself cope

Where the sea is calm but the waters are rough

Achieving levels of intimacy that I could only dream of

Oh

Oh

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread

Oh I want to believe in

Everything happening for a reason

But everything I feel has been felt before

And every thought's already been put into words

And even moving forward, I feel directionless

Lying on the floor wondering how to get out of this

Cause I'm sick of living like I've got no ambition

And wasting my life trying to make a decision

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread

It's melting your brain

So it can live in your head

Replacing ambitions

With feelings of dread
