Rise Against - Methadone lyrics

Love like a needle full of methadone
Potent but not real, left you wanting more
Lipstick track marks bleeding red
Like Montagues and Capulets
For us, child, the stars refuse to shine
Why for us, child
Do the stars refuse to shine?

I'm somewhere strung out on the lam
We wound up back here again
Like unstable chemicals
Combining only to explode

What will it take for you to notice?
I am a heart on fire
And all the world's a fuse
So don't get close the trouble and the worth
Am I better off on my own?

Contaminated, quarantined, then left alone
A shipment refused, address unknown


Damaged goods they soon forget
In choking dust that we got left
For us all, the stars refuse to shine

Tap the vein and light the match
We burn like stars before the crash
But for you there's still a chance
Just let go

What will it take for you to notice?
I am a heart on fire
And all the world's a fuse
So don't get close the trouble and the worth
I'm better off on my own on my own

There's nowhere to run
And now there's nowhere to hide
There's nothin' under the sun
We haven't already tried

What will it take for you to notice?
I am a hand grenade
Pin already pulled, so don't let go
As we chase the sun my shadow slows us down
Without me along
You're better off and I know
You're better off and I know and I know
