Slipping Scars

(Ooh-whoa-oh-aah-e-aah~ yeah-e-yeah~ ah-aah-OOH~) (Ohh-oa-aah~ oh-e-oh~ yeah~-aah~) (Woah~!)

Coffee cups and hollow walls Shaking hands at 3 AM

I told myself just one more time

But one more time

never ends

The bottle's empty, so am I

Smiling through the same old lie

And I know

I should stop

But my hands keep reaching back

Something's got me by the throat

And it pulls me off the track (ohh~)

I'm addicted to the pain Can't wash it off,

it's in my veins

I keep coming back for more Of the thing that breaks me

to the core (yeah!) I'm a wreck in beautiful disguise Hooked on

every one of your lies (oh-whoa-oh~)

Prescription pills on the nightstand

Three missed calls from my best friend

I keep pretending that I'm fine

Just chasing something 'round the bend

The mirror shows a stranger's face Smiling in a borrowed grace

But I can't let go

Even when it's burning me alive

I keep feeding what's destroying me Just to feel something inside (ohh~)

I'm addicted to the pain Can't wash it off,

it's in my veins

I keep coming back for more Of the thing that breaks me

to the core (yeah!) I'm a wreck in beautiful disguise Hooked on

every one of your lies (oh-whoa-oh~)

I know you're bad for me

(I know, I know) But I can't breathe without it

Every time I try to leave

(try to leave) I find another reason to stay

(Ohh~ aah~

yeah~)

I'm addicted to the pain Can't wash it off,

it's in my veins

I keep coming back for more Of the thing that breaks me

to the core (yeah — oh~!) I'm a wreck in beautiful disguise

Hooked on every one of your lies

And I'd do it all again (oh-whoa-aah~)
