Stagger

I look around me
And you're everywhere
No way I can shield myself
From you
Automatically
Search the room for you
But you're so close to me
That you're not there

My mind's playing tricks with me
With these shadows on the walls
Cast by your absence, they're making me fall
Staggered out of darkness once,
I can do it once more
What doesn't kill me'll keep me alive
And then I won't stagger no more

Don't look around me
Don't breathe the air
Some way it's like I lay myself
With you
Automatically
Fingers search for you
But you're so close to me
That you're not there

My mind's playing tricks with me
With these shadows on the walls
Cast by your absence, they're making me fall
Staggered out of darkness once,
I can do it once more
What doesn't kill me'll keep me alive
And then I won't stagger no more

Give me the strongest poison there is,
Stab me with daggers and my soul will soar,
Tear me in pieces, I'll endure all of this,
Cause soon as I'm hardened I stagger no more

My mind's playing tricks with me
With these shadows on the walls
Cast by your absence, they're making me fall
Staggered out of darkness once,
I can do it once more
What doesn't kill me'll keep me alive
And then I won't stagger no more
