Relapse (The Nature of My Crime)

Say you’re hurting, but that’s not where you’re at
But then again who am I to say a word about that?
Come again? Did you wanna ask something?
Amen, I’m ready for judging
Forget I even said anything
Better yet turn around and start walking
So I sleep on it till next morning
Recurring dream so far from close
This nightmare is not my first warning
So on and on it goes
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime
I remember sitting through this strife
I didn’t just meet you, I’ve known you my whole life
You tell me to grab a knife or a bottle
Watch your life travel by at full throttle
I’m done rackin' out my fried brain
Just go away, you’re nothing new, you’re all the same
You knew my story, turn a page and read the signs
They speak of relapse between selected lines
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime
Relapse once again, drain out my peace of mind
Too blind to witness the nature of my crime
The thought of turning back sends shivers down my spine
Your delusions sure as hell were never mine
You knew my story from the get-go, read the signs
They scream of relapse between selected lines
