you choose to numb yourself
a dozen pills every day
you cope by shutting off
whatever makes the pain stop

you keep blacking out

you can't enjoy yourself
you can't lighten up
the fear keeps choking your heart

you keep blacking out
you keep blacking out
can't handle what life dishes out
so you just black it out
we can't save you now

I wish that you
I wish that you could lighten up

but you keep blacking out
you keep blacking out
can't handle what life dishes out
can't handle what life dishes out
so you just black it out
