Rise Against - Methadone

Love like a needle full of methadone
Potent but not real, left you wanting more
Lipstick track-marks bleeding wet
Like Montagues and Capulets
For us child, the stars refuse to shine
Why for us child, do the stars refuse to shine?

Somewhere strung out on the lam
We wound up back here again
Like unstable chemicals
Combining only to explode

What would it take for you to notice
I am a heart on fire
And all the world's a fuse so don't get close
The trouble and the worth
Am I better off on my own?

Contaminated quarantined then left alone
A shipment refused, address unkown
Damaged goods they soon forget
In choking dust where we got left
For us all the stars refuse to shine

So tap the vein and light the match
We burn like stars before the crash
But for you there's still a chance, just let go

What would it take for you to notice
That I am a heart on fire
And all the world's a fuse so don't get close
The trouble and the worth
I'm better off on my own
On my own

But now there's nowhere to run
And yeah, there's nowhere to hide
There's nothing under the sun
We haven't already tried

What would it take for you to notice
That I am a hand grenade
Pin already pulled so don't let go
As we chase the sun
My shadow slows us down
Without me along
You're better off and I know
You're better off and I know
And I know
