Lyrics
[Intro — single note, pulsing, heartbeat]
[Thump-thump, thump-thump]
[Guitar slides in, dirty]
[Verse 1]
Day three without your chaos and I'm shaking
Hands on the wheel but the wheel keeps breaking
Sweating through the sheets where you used to be
This ain't love, it's a dependency
[Pre-Chorus]
Doctor says I need to quit you cold
But cold was never how you loved me
[Chorus]
I'm in withdrawal, withdrawal
Jonesing for a hit of something fatal
Withdrawal, withdrawal
You're the poison and the only cure I know
I should be healing, I should be free
But I miss the way you needed me
I'm in withdrawal, withdrawal
Come back and kill me slow
[Verse 2]
Day seven and I'm crawling past your street again
Radio plays our song like it's a friend
Telling me to stay strong, stay clean
But your voicemail still says the same damn thing
And I still call to hear it
[Pre-Chorus]
Doctor says I need to find myself
But I was always someone else with you
[Chorus]
I'm in withdrawal, withdrawal
Jonesing for a hit of something fatal
Withdrawal, withdrawal
You're the poison and the only cure I know
I should be healing, I should be free
But I miss the way you needed me
I'm in withdrawal, withdrawal
Come back and kill me slow
[Bridge — stripped, desperate]
I don't want better
I want back
I don't want healthy
I want that
Crash
Burn
Return...
[Final Chorus — explosive, then collapses]
I'M IN WITHDRAWAL, WITHDRAWAL
JONESING FOR A HIT OF SOMETHING FATAL
WITHDRAWAL, WITHDRAWAL
YOU'RE THE POISON AND THE ONLY CURE I KNOW
[Whispered]
Come back...
Come back...
And kill me...
Slow...
[Outro — heartbeat returns, flatlines]
[Thump... thump... thump...]
[Silence]
