Anti-depressants – Bones From My Back

at arms’ length, but you’re still so willing
this pockmarked romance has the face of a villain
alone and unmoved, you keep slaying my idols
as the flies crawl over the faithful disciples

you can light up a room with your smile like phosphorescence
I’m addicted to you and all your anti-depressants
you’re out living your life while I’m still learning my lessons
I keep thinking of you, and all your anti-depressants

I try to stay calm and remain unbiased
that’s hard to do when you call me a liar
you still want me to take off my clothes
and yet you won’t answer when I say hello

you can light up a room with your smile like phosphorescence
I’m addicted to you like all your anti-depressants
you’re out living your life while I’m still learning my lessons
I keep thinking of you, and all your anti-depressants

at arms’ length, but I’m still reaching out
it’s the call to arms that was never in doubt
you call my name at the very last minute
and stretch your safety net to the limit

and I’m waiting for you all time that you’re keeping me guessing
I’m addicted to you and all your anti-depressants
you keep giving me questions while I keep giving you presents
but I’ll stay to the end to keep giving you anti-depressants
