Distillation (Dear Dorothy)

by Mcsplosion

/

lyrics

Drill the Hole like the needle still in your veins
Cause you always need more of me
To kill the pain that she left on your stricken face
when she couldn't deal with me anymore

Drowning Yourself In your room(Drowning Yourself In your room)
Floating Above the Poppy Field (Sinking into the poppy field)
Can't wait to choke on the taste(Can't wait to choke on the taste)
Till you're nothing but a waste(you're nothing but a waste)

Lay Down, Dear Dorothy
Cause there's always more of me
to flush out the hurt that you
feel in your blackened heart
(STICK THE NEEDLE INTO ME)


No one is sparing you but
I'll still be there with you
To give you that final push down into hell
(Now you're Nothing without me)

Write a letter that you'll never get to read
Tie it off with a knot of fate
When the money runs out to fulfill me
It's either this or a robbery

Now that you're stood on that chair (NO DON'T YOU DARE, DON'T YOU DARE!)
Thoughts fragmented but also clear (YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ME HERE)
You see this is no way out (THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT)
What would she think of you now? (YOU KNOW SHE WOULD LOVE IT)

Throw away your finery
burn silver and ivory
the morphine and opium mean nothing, now hope's begun
(PUT THE SILVER TO THE HEAT)

As the silver burns away
you stand to live another day
to right all these wrongs and to renew your lease on life
(NO)

Don't you see, there's nothing left for you to be
Just tie it up, jump off the fucking chair
Don't throw away the half-undone rope again
It's just a phase, a cycle, a dare

You're just a fool, a fucking tool, a layabout
quit looking for something you can't live without
The story's over your life is like a rotting trout
I'm the thing that you can't live without


HEROIN IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND
(It Doesn't have to be your only friend)
(It's better not to be a friend at all)

Lay Down, Dear Dorothy
whisper these words to me
don't fall down the pit again
don't leave it all behind
As the silver burns away
you stand to live another day
Unnatural sleep shan't enclose you, expose you to me

Lay Down, Dear Dorothy

Unused:
Let the silver melt away
Shut out what the poppies say
