Lyrics
Carry me
Somewhere far away
From the noise on this damn TV
From the needle and the spoon in front of me
These straps across my chest
Make it hard to breathe
And I can't see
Through all these silhouettes
Can't they just let me be?
Wait and see when the drugs take effect
In the sky I see a sun
But I don't feel the warmth
From it or anyone
I'm too tired to think
Too tired to run
But I don't know what I'm trying to run from
All I know is I need to be someone
Take these arms of mine
Tell them what to do
Tell them how to pass the time
Or put a charm upon this life of mine
And take this heart of mine
Tell it who to love
Who to leave behind
Tell it who to trust
With these thoughts of mine
But I don't know what I'm trying to run from
All I know is I need to be someone
Who can laugh out loud
Who can stand a crowd
Who can sleep without these nightmares, nightmares, nightmares screaming out
So carry me
Somewhere far away
From this life that's waiting here for me
Give me something new
I need something new
That I can believe
Just something true
Please tell me who I got to be
But I don't know where that's going to come from
All I know is I need to be someone
Who can take this pain
Who can clean these veins
Who can make this change
'Cause I know I'll die
If I ever come back here again
