Methadone by Rise Against Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love like a needle full of methadone
Potent but not real, left you wanting more
Lipstick track marks bleeding red
Like Montagues and Capulets
For us, child, the stars refuse to shine
Why for us, child, do the stars refuse to shine?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm somewhere strung out on the lam
We wound up back here again
Like unstable chemicals
Combining only to explode

[Chorus]
What will it take for you to notice?
I am a heart on fire
And all the world's a fuse, so don't get close
The trouble and the worth
Am I better off on my own?
[Verse 2]
Contaminated, quarantined, then left alone
A shipment refused, address unknown
Damaged goods they soon forget
In choking dust that we got left
For us all, the stars refuse to shine

[Pre-Chorus]
Tap the vein and light the match
We burn like stars before the crash
But for you there's still a chance
Just let go

[Chorus]
What will it take for you to notice?
I am a heart on fire
And all the world's a fuse, so don't get close
The trouble and the worth
I'm better off on my own
On my own

[Bridge]
There's nowhere to run
And now there's nowhere to hide
There's nothin' under the sun
We haven't already tried
[Chorus]
What will it take for you to notice?
I am a hand grenade
Pin already pulled, so don't let go
As we chase the sun
My shadow slows us down
Without me along
You're better off and I know
You're better off and I know
And I know
