lyrics

CHORUS
Codeine my dream
You’re the silent friend I need
One to lead me to the woods at night
And watch me while I bleed
Can’t they see it’s obscene
Just what you take from me
Like a blanket made of wood and nails
You’ll never let me be

V1
Bent down double
Stretched forth my hand
To catch me as I fell
But disbelief and apathy
would pave my path to hell
Oh, legality does not decree
Your right to write me out
A bullet meant to pacify
On deaf ears falls my shout

(C) Codeine my dream
Silent friend I need
One to lead me to the woods at night
And watch me while I bleed
Can’t they see it’s obscene
Just what you take from me
Like a blanket made of wood and nails
You’ll never let me be

V2
As if I didn’t have enough to hold me when I’m down
Separate from what I should know, in my own blood I drown
Our bodies lay under your hands for countless centuries
Blind man’s game with no remorse to test out your theories

BRIDGE
Don’t try to tell me this is normal
That I just can’t take it like they can
Don’t try to tell me this is normal
I don’t think that you could ever understand

SOLO

V3
I followed your words and your lies; I trusted what you said
But when I came to criticize it was all just in my head
You accept their cheers of trust while you cover me in scars
While pedaling a plant can land a person behind bars!

(C) Codeine my dream
Silent friend I need
One to lead me to the woods at night
And watch me while I bleed
Can’t they see it’s obscene
Just what you take from me
Like a blanket made of wood and nails
You’ll never let me be
(B) Don’t try to tell me this is normal
That I just can’t take it like they can
Don’t try to tell me this is normal
I don’t think that you could ever understand
