I dream about you nightly

Oh, the things we do, unsightly

I dream of you undignified

Being kind, so compromising

Every evening so unseemly, that imagined touch

I'd like to blame the drugs, I don't do drugs.

It's a beast I swore I mastered

I healed, but I went backwards

Now you're reaching through the sidewalk cracks

I buried you, but you came back

Sight for sore eyes, have to ghostwrite how I'd like your love

And I'd like to blame the drugs, I don't do drugs.

Like a stone, I loved you sober all this time

Like a river, ran it over in my mind

Watched you go, watched you outgrow me

Did you try to save a piece of me for your afterlife?

There's no moving through this faster

So I'm talking to the plaster

The world outside is cold but vast

It waits for me, and I'll be back

Later hits me, that you miss me, but you didn't bring it up

You'd like to blame the drugs.
