Lyrics

Novocaine

Her words are novocaine
Straight novocaine
I can't get away
(I can't get away)
I showed no restraint
Make no mistake
I can't get away
(I can't get away)

Her words are suicide
Straight suicide
This time's do or die
(This times do or die)

Pills won't slow the pain
Won't go away
Her words are novocaine
(Her words are novocaine)

You're the first thing that I think of when I can't close my eyes
(Can't close my eyes)
Terrors in the night and they're all
Personified through the fictions you write
(Fictions you write)
Blackout real life just in time

Her words are venomous
Straight venomous
I can't reminisce
(I can't reminisce)
Or else it's imminent
I'll let her in
Please stay disciplined
(I need medicine)

Her words are preconceived
Don't be deceived
Back down leave it be
(Back down leave it be)
That's too strenuous
Truth went amiss
Her words are venomous
(Her words are venomous)

Time flew by
I can't remember the words you said then
This was never by my design
But you're forever my worst intention

Time flew by
I can't remember the words you said then
And this was never by my design
But you're forever my worst intent,
Percocet, purpose that's left in my life

Her words are novocaine
Straight novocaine
I can't get away
(I can't get away)
I showed no restraint
Make no mistake
I can't get away
(I can't get away)

Her words are suicide
Straight suicide
This time's do or die
(This times do or die)

Pills won't slow the pain
Won't go away
Her words are novocaine
(Novocaine)

Time flew by
I can't remember the words you said then
This was never by my design
But you're forever my worst intention

Time flew by
I can't remember the words you said then
And this was never by my design
But you're forever my worst intent,
Percocet, purpose that's left in my life
