The Only Things

I pinch myself but I don't wake up
I cut myself but I still feel numb
The drugs
The drinks
It's later than you think

I starve myself but the weight won't lift
I beat myself up and I can't stop it
Then you appear
Tell me what I need to hear

Late at night
Nearly three
You whispered to me
We are the only
The Only Things
We need

I watch the news but I'm still confused
Does any of it make sense to you?

My love, my friend
Waiting for the world to end
We are the only
The Only Things
We need

Stroke my head
Take me to bed
We are the only
The Only Things
We need
