Nathan Wagner
Opiate
[Verse 1]
I just wanted to feel better
Now I sweat here in the dark
Oh, I'm struggling to remember
How I even let this start

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd heal me
That you'd reveal the
Better version of myself

You're only stealing
You use me up and
Just to leave me on the shelf

[Chorus]
Said you'd free me from these gallows
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
Not a lantern in my cell

You're an artificial solace
You'rе a counterfeit reliеf
Always meet me at my lowest
Just to multiply my grief
(Oh)
(Oh)

[Verse 2]
I just wanted to feel something
Really anything at all
But now it's taking higher doses
To get back to my default

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd heal me
That you'd conceal this
Gaping hole inside my heart
Just one more gram
You're such a scam
I should've known this from the start

[Chorus]
Said you'd free me from these gallows
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunshine
You're a lantern in my cell

You're an artificial solace
You're a counterfeit relief
Always meet me at my lowest
Just to multiply my grief
You said you'd free me from these gallows
Just to fancy up my hell
All I wanted was some sunlight
Not this lantern in my cell

You're an artificial solace
Just a chemical relief
Always meet me at my lowest
And take everything from me

[Outro]
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
