Remedy

I need a remedy of diesel and dust

Something I can taste, with a fix I can trust

Another high, more potent than lust

Eating and repeating like the workings of rust and time

Woke to the sound and the rhythm of rain

Dancin' down on the window pane

Comatose, eyes half closed

Arms wrapped up with the wounds all sewn

I froze from head to toe

Clenched that jaw, then felt my body roll over slow

I must live to know healing takes some time

So no, no regrets

And lookin' back, sinkin' ships

So I'll strip the gauze for a rational self-analysis

I'm down, cut and bound

Counting scars, counting the blessings aloud

So loud

Must live to know that time alone is always healing

(No regrets, falling bits, I'll strip the gauze and bleed it)

As long as there's bleeding

(No regrets, falling bits, I'll strip the gauze and bleed it)

No regrets, falling bits, I'll strip the gauze and bleed it

No regrets, falling bits, I'll strip the gauze and bleed it

No regrets, falling bits, I'll strip the gauze and bleed it

No regrets, falling bits, I'll strip the gauze and bleed it
