Injections For a Heartsick Mind

from Title Goes Here by Skeleton Keys

about

This was the last track we wrote for the EP and, in our opinion, the strongest. It's the biggest look at what our album will be like. It's a very straightforward song. Its meaning can be changed depending on how one looks at it. Like most of the songs, Tommy and I co-wrote the lyrics. It's has a very longing feel to it.

lyrics

What made you walk away?
Were my words insufficent or was it just too much?

Disdain is my drug, my hope, my lure
Distance prescribed is my surefire cure
I'm a terminal patient with an IV adorned
The medication sickens a mind so forlorn

Stuck in a waiting room
I've lost all the will to move
When did pleasure lose its taste?
There's so much empty space

Picked out a metal shelf just for me
Working 'til I'm gasping for your final breath but the ends never really justified the means
It's colder than winter and whiter than snow
I think there is something that I don't know
Will you let me waste away or pull me from the dark?

Stuck in a waiting room
I've lost all the will to move
When did pleasure lose its taste?
There's so much empty space

You are the seed of all my loss
A death so painless but not even a thought
They say that the eyes are the doors to the soul
So why can't I find locks anymore?

Stuck in a waiting room
I've lost all the will to move
When did pleasure lose its taste?
There's so much empty space

Lost between hollow walls
Can't find your life at all
When did this become a waste?
There's so much empty space

What made you walk away?
Were my words insufficent or was it just too much?
