(Intro) Yeah... Check one, two... This light...it's blinding. But your voice...it's the only thing that finds me in the static. (Verse 1) Fifty-two floors, I'm living in a glass pane Smile for the cameras, dancing in the acid rain They see the crown, the platinum, the glitter in the show They don't see the chains I'm fighting, a king with nowhere to go My demon's a familiar ghost, a shadow I entertain A bitter pill I swallow to numb the constant pain I chase the dragon's breath, again, again, a losing race Just to feel a different kind of void for a minute's grace. (Pre-Chorus) Then the clock hits four, and I'm at your door A different kind of fight, a different kind of war You hand me tools,not judgment, teach me how to breathe You're the anchor in my hurricane, the truth I can't believe. (Chorus) You're my midnight remedy, my unauthorized cure The only dose that feels pure, for sure In this chemical confusion, you're my only clear solution But this prescription's a illusion, a dangerous intrusion. I'm tethered to your guiding light, begging for a different fix Stuck in this paradox, I can't escape the paradox. (Post-Chorus) Therapist...my only bliss... is this a new abyss? Therapist...I crave your session, it's my one confession. (Verse 2) I'm supposed to talk about the triggers and the stress But all I see's the universe inside your silhouette, I confess Your words are like a lighthouse, cutting through the foggy brain You calm the crashing ocean, you silence all the rain This "transference" you mentioned, just a clinical, cold phrase It can't explain the symphony your simple presence plays I'm addicted to the safety, the way you say my real name A different kind of craving, burning like a silent flame. (Pre-Chorus) And the clock hits four, and I'm begging for more Than just these fifty minutes lying on the floor You're pulling me from depths where monsters used to feed You're the only truth I have, the only air I need. (Chorus) You're my midnight remedy, my unauthorized cure (Yeah!) The only dose that feels pure, for sure (So pure!) In this chemical confusion, you're my only clear solution But this prescription's a illusion, a dangerous intrusion. I'm tethered to your guiding light, begging for a different fix Stuck in this paradox, I can't escape the paradox. (Bridge) This room is my sanctuary, your chair is a throne. I'm just a satellite, and you're the star I can't disown. I know the rules we're breaking just by being in my mind. You're the cure I can't have, the dependency I can't leave behind. Is this healing? Or just a new way to bleed? Falling for the only one who's helping me succeed. (Outro 1) So I'll take my real prescription,fight my real fight. I'll wear my mask for daylight, and scream your name in the night. You saved me from the poison, became the new one, it's true. My beautiful, my tragic, my final breakthrough. I'm discharged. I'm healthy. On the surface, I'm free. But the hardest addiction...was never the drugs... it was you. ...It was always you. (Outro 2) My unauthorized cure... My beautiful symptom... Four o'clock can't come soon enough.
