The Next One -

I’d do anything

To get you out of here

Stained in chemicals

Soaked in mother’s tears

Faceless criminals

Are puncturing your skin

Life is pouring out

But love is rushing in

I’d do anything

To get away from here

Drowned in alcohol

Choking on stale beer

Searching for the door

I fumble for my keys

You wanted everything

You never wanted me

You’re the next one

Waking up in the middle

Of a nightmare

And knowing that

Everything has changed

Search so long for

Something to hold on to

Then watched it go

Oh, I never liked you anyway

Loaded, hoping, that someone’s

Going to turn your ship around

But, you’re the very next one
