Story behind the song
Classic Liars Edge anthem..Hangovers, mental illness, substance and alcohol abuse..They are all mentioned here! No matter how hard we try to avoid it, life in a rock and roll band takes its toll!
Lyrics
I need to get it together I need to take it apart I need a plan of the maze to make the most of my days I need a life to make the most of my heart I need to take it to pieces I need to start it from new I need to turn on the lights to make the most of my nights I need to find myself a room with a view So come on in pull up a chair Lets go lose ourselves in there You know man there won’t be any friction Meet my good friend - Alcohol Drugs ? I’m sure you’ve done 'em all Come and meet my oldest friend - Addiction I keep doing it - I keep doing it - I keep doing it I keep doing the damage I keep doing the damage I keep doing the damage I’ve got to write a new chapter I’ve got to turn a new page I need to read up the laws and find the sanity clause I need to wisen up and act my age I need to shut out the shadows I need to shut down my brain Its the finest of lines between the two states of mind So which is normal ? Fucking normal ? Insane ? And it’s a crime that doesn’t pay To think too deeply anyway It just (de) generates delusion Meet my best man - Doctor Freud And my mistress - Paranoid Come and meet my closest friend - Confusion I keep doing it - I keep doing it - I keep doing it I keep doing the damage I keep doing the damage I keep doing the damage So come on in pull up a chair Lets go lose ourselves in there You know man - this isn't science fiction Meet my good friend - Alcohol Drugs ? I’m sure you’ve done 'em all Come and meet my oldest friend - Addiction And keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Keep doing the damage Damage Damage Damage Damage I'm damaged
