Livingstone Road - Stateside

Cigarettes and coffee keep me

From waking up in my own sweat

Soothing numbness of a coma

Without being close to death

Hopelessness and empty bottles

In a bed made with regret

I’ll close my eyes but I won’t sleep

Until your memory leaves my head

While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea

I stayed under water and adapted to the heat

You can’t drown me (You can’t drown me)

Do you stand by your decisions

Even the ones that were made for you

Words are knives that make incisions

And leave scars carving in open wounds

You hold me back, you clip my wings

Just to stand there and watch me graze my knees

I’m feeling trapped in my own skin

If you’re so called ‘sympathetic'

Where have you been?

While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea

I stayed under water and adapted to the heat

You can’t drown me (You can’t drown me)

(You can’t drown me)

While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea

I stayed under water and adapted to the heat

You can’t drown me (You can’t drown me)

While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea

I stayed under water and adapted to the heat

You can’t drown me (You can’t drown me)
