Doing The Damage (Liars Edge)

 

I need to get it together

I need to take it apart

I need a plan of the maze to make the most of my days

I need a life to make the most of my heart

I need to take it to pieces

I need to start it from new

I need to turn on the lights to make the most of my nights

I need to find myself a room with a view

So come on in pull up a chair

Lets go lose ourselves in there

You know man there won’t be any friction

Meet my good friend - Alcohol

Drugs ? I’m sure you’ve done 'em all

Come and meet my oldest friend - Addiction

I keep doing it - I keep doing it - I keep doing it

 

I keep doing the damage

I keep doing the damage

I keep doing the damage

I’ve got to write a new chapter

I’ve got to turn a new page

I need to read up the laws and find the sanity clause

I need to wisen up and act my age

I need to shut out the shadows

I need to shut down my brain

Its the finest of lines between the two states of mind

So which is normal ? Fucking normal ? Insane ?

And it’s a crime that doesn’t pay

To think too deeply anyway

It just (de) generates delusion

Meet my best man - Doctor Freud

And my mistress - Paranoid

Come and meet my closest friend - Confusion

I keep doing it - I keep doing it - I keep doing it

I keep doing the damage

I keep doing the damage

I keep doing the damage

So come on in pull up a chair

Lets go lose ourselves in there

You know man - this isn't science fiction

Meet my good friend - Alcohol

Drugs ? I’m sure you’ve done 'em all

Come and meet my oldest friend - Addiction

And keep doing the damage (8)

I'm damaged
