about

This song didn't make the cut for a song project I was working on as it was too mature for the character I was writing for. I'm slyly happy though as I love it for myself haha

Its about the struggles we face with addiction when trying to escape pain, sometimes i feel like we need to realise that sometimes pain can be our best friend when we let it wash over us.

lyrics

Doctor, have you given up? Do they pay enough?
Dosed up, is this spiritual? Or a miracle
My friends say they feel the same
But somehow I’m a cast away
I’m blaming all the shame I’ve bin taming
Hope it feels like it’s miles away
Coloured pills or purple haze
I’m phasing, do you hear what I’m saying?

Chorus
I need someone to remind me, pain can pick me up,
Take me by the hand and show me I am strong enough,
Tell I need time just like a diamond in the rough
Please don’t fade me away,
Don’t fade me away

Tell me, when we’re critical is it natural?
We only get one shot, in the physical, maybe I can take it all?
I hope one day I’ll finally say, I grew up from my hardest days. I’m slaving for this person I’m making.
So many ways to numb this pain, prescriptions or an alley way.
I’m phasing, do you hear what I’m saying.

Chorus
I need someone to remind me, pain can pick me up,
Take me by the hand and show me I am strong enough,
Tell I need time just like a diamond in the rough
Please don’t fade me away,
Don’t fade me away
