[Verse 1] Just as the sound of a tin roof expanding in the sun Differs not from the sound of the rain Falling in and out of love, sometimes Can begin to feel the same But I'm smoking more, I'm eating less I've lost capacity to excess And so through a note or blown up in smoke I relinquish all my control
[Pre-Chorus 1] …and when you talk too much People start thinking they heard things that you never said When you’re verbally incontinent Who could truly understand what you meant? [Verse 2] Excess gave wings - learn to fly Come sunrise, it took away the sky But I'm cognisant of the hefty price How many does it bring back to life? I'm drinking more and I'm sleeping less I'm losing all that I possess I'm happiest, when I'm a mess But I can’t survive as anything less than this
[Pre-Chorus 2] And if I drink too much I don’t think that you’ll believe all that I have to say I’ll be fucking incoherent then And you’ll have never understood what I meant When I speak of the end
[Chorus] Articulate, enunciate “So what the fuck are you trying to say?” My axiom, my oxygen Honey rid yourself of me I'm a fucking disease
[Bridge] In a world contrived, I swore it on my life That I'd never be the one to leave your side Time heals and time takes away But to you, I'll remain a fucking liar
[Pre-Chorus 3] And you were so fucked up That I don’t know if I can live with all that I have said I’ve lost all self-respect And no longer can I sleep with your voice in my head
[Chorus] Articulate, enunciate “So what the fuck are you trying to say?” My axiom, my oxygen Honey rid yourself of me I'm a fucking disease
[Outro] So shame, shame, shame on me I could never have done this without a drink And so shame, shame, shame on me Honey rid yourself of me I'm a fucking disease
