painkiller

(album: in loving memory - 2022)

I think I used up all my sick days
Excuses are gone
It was such a good day till I threw up in the car
Three years clean and nothing changed
There's dishes in the sink
Three more days without you here and I might need a drink

And I can't lie, you still get me high
I need something with a little more strength
I need something else to get me by
You're my painkiller

Will you be my Oxy? Will you be my Vicodin?
Be my euphoria? Stay through the night again?
You're my painkiller (Will you kill my pain?)
Will you kill my pain?

So, I took another sick day, I hate LA when it's dark
Methadone clinic, using tissue for a scar
Three more days without you here
I'm going through withdrawal
Three more days seem like forever, I wonder where you are

And I can't lie, you still get me high
I need something with a little more strength
I need something else to get me by
You're my painkiller

Will you be my Oxy? Will you be my Vicodin?
Be my euphoria? Stay through the night again?
You're my painkiller (Will you kill my pain?)
Will you kill my pain?

I need you like a needle in my veins, it's a crisis
You're no longer welcome 'round my friends, you're uninvited
Every time you we drove up Laurel Canyon, it was priceless and timeless
Now everything means nothing so

Will you be my Oxy? Will you be my Vicodin?
Be my euphoria? Stay through the night again?
You're my painkiller (Will you kill my pain?)
Will you kill my pain?

Will you kill my pain?
Will you be my Oxy? Will you be my Vicodin?
Be my euphoria? Stay through the night again?
You're my painkiller (Will you kill my pain?)
Will you kill my pain?

Yeah, yeah-ah-ah-ah
Will you kill my pain?
Will you kill my pain?
