lyrics

I used to be a drinker,
Nothing fatal, nothing bad
I could take down any obstacle
With a cold beer in my hand
But I stumbled, lost my balance
Slipped, unhinged both of my knees
I quit nine months ago,
you ruined that for me

Then I started smoking cigarettes
As a way to pass the time
To stop my hands from shaking
Like my bones were misaligned
As I leaned into the habit,
Clenched, ground down all my teeth
I quit nine days ago,
you ruined that for me

I confess, I am a liar
I can tell this is a joke
Both the seller and the buyer
Of the words you never spoke
I’m at the mercy of my vices
When left to my own devices
And I’m weak when I’m burnt out -
I can’t quit you for now

Got obsessive with the notion
That you’re happy, that you’re fine
Couldn’t stop my greedy fingertips
From checking out online
And the deeper down I wandered,
sucker punch right to my spine -
I had to stop nine hours ago,
she ruined that this time

I confess, I am a liar
I can tell this is a joke
Both the seller and the buyer
Of the words you never spoke
I’m at the mercy of my vices
When left to my own devices
And I’m weak when I’m burnt out -
I can’t quit you for now

Oo
Oh I’m weak when I’m burnt out,
I can’t quit you for now

I tried to practice yoga,
so to focus on my mind,
To cleanse you from my body
Leave addicted life behind,
And then I poured you in a journal
Lit a candle every night –
But no matter what I write
No ritual, no shrine
I give up every time
And I can’t quit you – I can’t quit you
I can’t quit you – I tried.
