Carry Me

Carry me somewhere far away from the noise on this damn TV

From the needle and the spoon in front of me

These straps across my chest make it hard to breathe

And I can't see

Through all these silhouettes

Can't they just let me be?

Wait and see when the drugs take effect

In the sky I see a sun

But I don't feel the warmth

From it or anyone

I'm too tired to think

Too tired to run

But I don't know what I'm trying to run from

All I know is I need to be someone

Take these arms of mine

Tell them what to do

Tell them how to pass the time

Put a charm upon this life of mine

And take this heart of mine

Tell it who to love

Who to leave behind

Tell it who to trust with these thoughts of mine

But I don't know what I'm trying to run from

All I know is I need to be someone

Who can laugh out loud

Who can stand a crowd

Who can sleep without these nightmares screaming out

So carry me

Somewhere far away from this life that's waiting here for me

Give me something new

I need something new

That I can believe

Just something true

Please tell me who I got to be

But I don't know where that's going to come from

All I know is I need to be someone

Who can take this pain

Who can clean these veins

Who can make this change

Because I know I'll die

If I ever come back here again
