Lyrics
Verse 1
Stockholm syndrome in your basement window
I see it crawling under your skin
You ignored every warning
Took the mind you were born in
Turned it into someone you don’t know
Don’t act like you don’t know me
You were there when it broke me
You don’t get to play innocent
Pre-Chorus
You’d kill just to feel something real
At least I’m still trying to feel
Screaming out a melody you can’t hear
You buried it, made it disappear
We poison everything ‘til it wilts
You need the antidote
Chorus
I see the darkness growing on you
It’s everything you put me through
You need the antidote
No, you’re the sickness I can’t remove
Give me catharsis, a new point of view
We need the antidote
Ooh ooh
We need the antidote
Ooh ooh
We need the antidote
Verse 2
I’m on the brink of the brink
Running dry when I bleed
And I know when I go you won’t remember me
Don’t twist it like I’m the ghost
I remember you the most
Every scar, every word you threw at me
I’d kill just to live for thrills
You’d burn just to prove it’s real
Screaming out a melody I can’t hear
You never listened when it was clear
We poison everything ‘til it wilts
Breakdown
Down and out, I’m out when I’m down and out
You always run when it counts
I’m not like you
No, you’re worse than me
I’m not like you
You’re exactly like me
Down and out, we’re out when we’re down and out
Bridge
I can’t keep or hold it together
I know… you’ve been falling forever
Then why won’t you let me go?
Because you’d never survive alone
Final Chorus
I see the darkness growing on you
It’s everything you turned me into
We need the antidote
Give me something to break me through
Give me something that isn’t you
Give me catharsis, a new point of view
We need the antidote
Ooh ooh
We need the antidote
Ooh ooh
We need the antidote
Outro
Down and out, I’m out when I’m down and out
You can’t keep it together
I’ll just be falling forever
And I’ll be right there when you hit the ground
