I’ve become a master at breaking my own heart

With words I made up

Words I don’t understand 

So why won’t you come and take this aching thing that I’ve become?

I’ll make myself worth your time


Love exists in powder

Love exists in pills

Love exists at the bottom of a bottle shaking from the blues

I only knew you once in June

We are all addicts lost under a hopeless moon

Map-less and afraid 

Forever alone


I’ve become a master at breaking my own heart

With dreams I’ve slept through 

With screams I plead to a drunken summer sun

I’m nothing more than a smile with a heartache attached to it

What’s the use of holding onto broken wrists and sunken eyes if it only deepens the wound?


Love exists in powder

Love exists in pills

Love exists at the bottom of a bottle shaking from the blues

I only knew you once in June

We are all addicts lost under a hopeless moon

map-less and afraid 

Forever alone
