Lyrics

Pain Killer

[Verse 1]

Most when it's almost like a bane

You arrive like a siren refrain

Like death, she takes everything

And dazes me like patent medicine

Into this strange divine

The road was serpentine

A network of silken threads

Spider's trapping web

Makes me rue the day

[Chorus 1]

You became my pain killer

I rue the day

Alright, alright, alright

[Verse 2]

Praying at the altar of your legs and feet

Your saliva is a drug so bittersweet

I'll arrogate what's there to take

In an evanescent embrace

Anesthetic liaison

Honey honey you’re my medication

Like love, you take everything

And this static yearn

Makes me rue the day

[Chorus 1]

You became my pain killer

I rue the day

Alright, alright, alright

[Bridge]

Strange divine

Strange divine

Strange divine

[Chorus 2]

I rue the day

You became my pain killer

I rue the day

Alright, alright, alright

I rue the day

You became my pain killer

I rue the day

Alright, alright, alright

You became my pain killer

You became my pain killer
