Lyrics Wicked Thirst - Matthew Vincent, The American Scene

Wicked Thirst

I woke up and it hurt
I dragged you through the dirt
One or too many times
I balanced on the edge of what I really meant
One or too many times
Oh autumns ending love
You won’t last long enough
Oh sickness unto death
Is that my name on your breath?
Singing in your sleep that you’re still afraid of me
Thrashing through the night, I couldn’t keep still I couldn’t stay here
Oh no, why couldn’t I?
There’s a dozen different things I wish you hadn’t seen
Everything is embarrassing when you’re sober sweating out the weekend I’d
rather not know how you got home I sleep so much better when you’re in bed
alone
Oh baggie full of best friends
Where you and I begin
Oh pocket full of poison
Inhale me erase them
Singing in your sleep «This is all you’ll ever be, buzzing in a bar off Fifth
Street Too high to tell the truth tonight»
I pressed you and it changed
A little smoke into boiling rain
And you picked at my skin till you could see
All the cracks in me
