Lost in a haunting thought 
spinning me around once more 
I wake, just to feel the way 
as the daylight comes around I turn 
with my eyes on the back door 
your face is light and cocaine white 
one message beating through 

smokes filled the air 
and I'm struggling to breathe 
let them be calm so I finally can sleep 
everything you intended to say 
don't go back on your words 
you always said you'd tell me first 

verse after endless verse 
I can't escape the echoed words 
I long, long to find a cure for the feeling
I find in these chords 
I smile as it burns 
your face is light and cocaine white 
one message beating through 

I've been erased 
I've been erased from the picture 

excuse, oh no anything goes 
excuses, you know it doesn't work 
excuse, oh no anything goes 
excuses don't work. 
excuse me this will calls out desperate 
excuse me this will calls out desperate 

smokes filled the air 
and I'm struggling to breathe 
let them be calm so I finally can sleep 
everything you intended to say 
don't go back on your words 
you always said you'd tell me first 

smokes filled the air 
and I'm struggling to breathe 
let them be calm so I finally can sleep.
