The Thing That Takes Lyrics
It’s the thing that numbs the misery
It’s the shortcut you always take
It’s your promise “it’s my last one” before you don’t recall a thing
It’s the thing that makes you feel like God
But deep inside, you know you’re not
But it’s the funnest game you’ve gotten to play since you grew up
You’ll do whatever you want
Since the consequence hasn’t set in
Go on and fill up your veins
With the same disease that wrecks all your friends
You don’t know all that it takes
Till the lines grow on your face
And you drive every lover away, every lover away
You won’t know until it’s too late
To get out of the bed you made
And the only ones that cared are long gone
‘Cause of the thing that takes
You’ll do whatever you want
Since the consequence hasn’t set in
Go on and fill up your veins
With the same disease that wrecks all your friends
You don’t know all that it takes
Till the lines grow on your face
And you drive every lover away, every lover away
You won’t know until it’s too late
To get out of the bed you made
And the only ones that cared are long gone
‘Cause of the thing that takes
‘Cause of the thing that takes, mm
‘Cause of the thing that takes
