Home Sweet Home

Dancing on the ice, thin as it is
And I'm tiptoeing across, under the bridge
Like the water I'd spilled there, gotta forgive
But it froze when my heart left
When you stole it away, the blood stopped
The ice is so thin, afraid to fall in
But I'll wake up when I drown
And my eyes will open and I'll finally see
Maybe I was worth it, this life I lead
Is it possible I was wrong?
For so long?
Was I living in an altered state?
A state of mind where the mind was my hell
Because all it did was tell me lies
And besides, I thought it was honesty
But that doesn't exist, does it baby?
Because I'm just crazy, doesn't faze me anymore
Just give me another shot of medicine,
Let me walk on the ice, let me dance
Because I've almost forgotten how to spin
When my world spins for me
Topsy turvy, rolly polly,
Staggered to the door, fell to the floor
On my knees crying out to the ceiling
Help me, please.
Just erase my memory, let me pretend
If only for a little while, I beg you
How dare you, take everything I am?
Who are you to think I can still stand?
The moon shines on my ice-thin path
Frost covering the clear, the medicine calms my fear
And I love it, because I love you
But I fear you, I'm terrified.
I ran, I hid, I smoked a few cigs
And I drank, I cried, I swore I was dying inside
Because you can't live heartless forever
And you have to have circulation to breathe
Get some blood in the capillaries
But this ice is so cold, so sharp, calling to me
And I can't break it, because then I'll be cold
Colder than I am now
I'm so cold, this ice is freezing me
But the vodka warms my throat as it goes down
And the cigarette burns my wrist, but no blood pours
I stand there, clicking my feet
Till the ice breaks, and I fall in
