Lyrics

Stockholm syndrome from my

Basement window

Crawling under my skin

I ignored all the warnings

And turned the brain I was born in

To someone I don't know

I'm on the brink of the brink

Running dry when I bleed

And I know when I go they won't remember me

But I'd kill to live for thrills

Screaming out a melody I can't hear

I poison everything 'till it wilts

I need the antidote

Notice the darkness growing on you

I need the antidote

Give me catharsis a new point of view

I need the antidote

Ooh ooh

I need the anti dote

Ooh ooh

I need the anti dote

(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)

I'm not like you I'm not like you

(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)

I'm not like you I'm not like you

(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)

I'm not like you I'm not like you

(Down and out I'm out when I'm down and out)

I'm not like you

I know when I go they won't remember me

I need the anti dote

Notice the darkness growing on you

I need the anti dote

Give me catharsis a new point of view

I need the anti dote

Ooh ooh

I need the anti dote

Ooh ooh

I need the anti dote
