I feel pain that I can fix
Stop assuming I'm some addict
I feel pain that I can fix
Stop assuming I'm some addict

The ones you're told to trust the most
Don't understand when you have no hope
They give you something that doesn't help
Hiding relief behind the shelf
It gets mixed up and rumors start
Hurting more than the ones involved
Can't you see the pain you've caused
Why do you not care at all

This cycle it's breaking
My body's erasing
I feel like I'm craving
To be numb and sedated

Not enough to survive
For more than a few nights
Can we meet halfway
So I can live my life
The laws ain't helping
Just causing depression
You say it'll get better
When the pain hurts worse than ever

I feel pain that I can fix
Stop assuming I'm some addict
I feel pain that I can fix
Stop assuming I'm some addict

I see there's a way
To feel better everyday
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
When you're prolonging all the pain
Then you limit my access
For a break on your taxes
Why is it a law that you have in place
When you see it takes the pain away
There's worse out there we need you for
Stop making excuses to divide us more

This cycle it's breaking
My body's erasing
I feel like I'm craving
To be numb and sedated

Not enough to survive
For more than a few nights
Can we meet halfway
So I can live my life
The laws ain't helping
Just causing depression
You say it'll get better
When the pain hurts worse than ever

I'm praying for something
To end all my tears
But all I've found is the one thing
They all hide out of fear
You don't know my body
Never been in my shoes
I know what works
Don't need the lies from you

Not enough to survive
For more than a few nights
Can we meet halfway
So I can live my life
The laws ain't helping
Just causing depression
You say it'll get better
When the pain hurts worse than ever
