about

I can't play guitar one string at a time.

lyrics

You were just a stranger
when we started out
I knew we were danger
but I sought you out
Thought you'd take my body
took my soul instead
There's no being sorry
There'll be no regrets

I'm a slave to the illusion
that this self-imposed confusion
Makes me prisoner to my senses
and yet sets me free
While you cook up my addiction
I'll re-double my conviction
seeking refuge
my indulgence is a sweet relief

I wish I could hate you
and love me instead
but I'd rather stay true
tangled in your web
So when this is over
and we wind up dead
we'll blaze out like fire
or a flood of red

I'm a slave to the illusion
that this self-imposed confusion
Makes me prisoner to my senses
and yet sets me free
While you cook up my addiction
I'll re-double my conviction
seeking refuge
my indulgence is a sweet relief

I spend a lot of time in my room with my instruments brooding. It's cheaper than therapy.
