Once Lyrics

Keep your head inside the bottle
And I'll just keep cutting up lines
You spend your life in constant sorrow
And I'll just pretend that I'm fine
Cause only once the drugs are done
Do I feel almost human
And only once my head's unclear
Do I feel like dying right here

You keep your lies for those who'll listen
And I'll just keep borrowing time
The hesitation when you're missing
All of the moments in life go by
And only once the drugs are done
Do I feel almost human
And only once my head's unclear
Do I feel like dying right here

You keep your problems so well-hidden
That even your tears feel like smiles
That I will die here is a given
And no one will ever know why
Only once the drugs were done
Did I feel almost human
And only once my head was clear
Did I feel safe dying right here
