Smoking heavily this evening till it's hard for me to breathe
I keep mirroring my poisoned mind with my physical health
Massaging in the poison of my mental health into my teeth
All the sick thoughts in my head I keep them as my own wealth
Speaking out loud what the demons make me feel today
That's how I try to keep the good people on my side away
Can you promise me to look behind the darkest scene?
Keep in mind I don't mean the cruel things I say to you
Can I trust you to stand up for me when I lay on the floor?
I know the way I behave makes you think I'm so hard-core
Keep me close, please stay at my side
Keep me near, please don't let me fall
Keep me warm, please bear with my faults
Keep me close, keep me close, keep me close to you
Drinking heavily this morning till it's hard for me to stand
I keep reproducing my worst dreams with every sip I take
Sleeping as much as I can, pain pulls me down like quicksand
All the sick things that I do trying to retrieve myself
I don't know any more what to do, sounds like the same old song
I don't know how I came here, I just know it's all so wrong
But can you promise me to look behind the darkest scenes?
Keep in mind I don't mean the cruel things I say to you
Can I trust you to stand up for me when I lay on the floor?
I know that the way I behave makes you think I'm so hard-core
Keep me close, please stay at my side
Keep me near, please don't let me fall
Keep me warm, please bear with my faults
Keep me close, keep me close, keep me close to you
Keep me close, please stay at my side
Keep me near, please don't let me fall
Keep me warm, please bear with my faults
Keep me close, keep me close, keep me close to you
Keep me close to you
