Lyrics The Spill Canvas

The Spill Canvas

To: Chicago

(Here I go again, heroin)

Layin' face down on the sidewalk

Here I go again, heroin

Layin' face down on the sidewalk

Here I go again, heroin

Stomach double knotted

Dizzy heaving up Dilaudid

As my bones turn to chalk

But every time I tried to pray

The windy city blew my faith away

For all my could-haves and my used-to-be's

You'd think that I'd have found myself some new beliefs

Fever broke the anchor made us lost kites

A tether free amphetaMe and you

Started sleeping on the train

To obliterate the pain

When the frost began to bite

Every time the morning came

I found another me that I could blame

For all my could have's and my used to be's (and the darkness inside me)

You'd think that I'd have found myself some new beliefs (another hopeless tragedy)

For all my should have's and my hope to be's (hoped to be's)

I think it's time I found myself some new disease

At one point I thought maybe I should warn her

But such information is best reserved for our dark corners

So I lock the bathroom door and started forgetting my name

I annihilated all my pride to usher in my shame

For all my could have's and my used to be's (and the darkness inside me)

You'd think that I'd have found myself some new beliefs (another hopeless tragedy)

For all my should haves and my hoped to be's (hoped to be's)

I think it's time I found myself some new disease
