Makeweight Lyrics

I was basking in the lock in,

I was seeing dope,

to wrestle some semblance of pride, you

had heaven and me hold the throne,

a mezzanine, four flights -

did you leave on time?

You rent forty rooms a night…

In an attic or a coffin?

I’ve been leaning both…

as if an ambulance arrived when

I wasn’t even comatose.

Did you sleep alright,

didn’t they leave the light on?

Surely soon we’ll go outside?

Stop it,

don’t mind me,

I wasn’t trying to pry,

I only want a lay down,

incohesively involved here,

drop it,

unfind me,

I won’t be over long.

Your faces fell,

such a

coward,

don’t mind me,

I can manage,

lock-eyes and leave,

you’re never gonna find me, honest,

it’s unlike me,

but I can behave,

don’t try, don’t try.

She’s another one and only,

all I can see now,

I’ll recover, but for a while I’ll cope,

just let me be now.

There was definitely a doorway,

setting up the edge

oh, to be far enough along that

we didn’t even know we’re close.

This has been lifelike,

‘Serenity Now!’, right?

Taking forty winks a night.

And it was happening so often…

the only place had closed,

where have the caveats been hiding?

I didn’t even overdose!

Speak to me, sunlight,

give me a read on my lungs,

lock in, lose your will to die.
