[Verse 1]
I survived the flood of '79
I lost my frames and all my things
I wondered why the sun still rose in the sky
Forgot my name and everything was a lie

[Chorus]
Kill my pain
Make me numb
Don't wanna face what I've become
Fill my veins
Make me dumb
I've got a light under my thumb
I've got a rose in the sky

[Verse 2]
I slept my days and drank my nights
To numb the pain of my new life
I quit my praying and I cursed the sky
Couldn't find out why they had to take you away that night

[Chorus]
Kill my pain
Make me numb
Don't wanna face what I've become
Fill my veins
Make me dumb
I've got a light under my thumb
I've got a rose in the sky
[Verse 3]
And I don't know why but I just can't breathe without you
And I'm trying, Rose, but I just can't decide about the right thing to do
I'm a ghost without you
And I've decided to follow through

[Chorus]
Killed my pain
Made me numb
I couldn't face what I'd become
Filled my veins
Made me dumb
I put a pill under my tongue
I put a rose in the sky
