lyrics

So you ran your rug down to threads in a matter of hours. You got voicemails and machines all over town. The bottle, the bag, the pack down the street, you can taste it ten minutes away. And you’re terrified to step outside but it’s out of your hands. Shuddering cold, pray to the road, you drive to Geneva. You’ve been hiding for years, determined to steer, so afraid to leave it. The healing words, they’re what you deserve but it’s hard to believe it. You’re driving alone. You’re almost home. You drive to Geneva. Fluorescent wards and churches’ basement floors, stiff chairs, bad coffee and, finally, insanity just like yours. It’s the weakness that binds us and all of this time you’ve been playing the permanent stranger. Cause you’re used to sick and it’s scary getting well. I know, but an angel rides passenger side. Are you ready to leave it? The healing words, you know you deserve. Why can’t you believe it? You’re not driving alone. You’re already home. It’s time to receive it.
