Codeine, No. 7

Music + lyrics by N. Hamer

You're still playing with the codeine, codeine
Never gonna break your head
I’m still trying not to be nice, think twice
Everybody’s made their bed
We’ve been living on the road now, slow down
Everything will be alright
Don’t go thinking it’s a big deal, unreal
Everybody sleeps at night

And it's been hard, thank you
Every day I'm falling apart
It’s been hard, thank you
Take me back to the start

It’s been hard not to feel good, real good
Even on a cloudy day
I’ve been fighting from the get-go, so no
Things are bound to go my way
You're still livin’ in your headspace, headspace
Never gonna come on out
I’m still wishing I could find space, some trace
Lotta words carry doubt

And it's been hard, thank you
Every day I'm falling apart
It’s been hard, thank you
Take me back to the start

I’ve been living in the zoo now, low-brow
Cover it with city lights
Everybody here keeps their head down
Baby, I’m the only one awake at night
They're still walking in a line now, midtown
Never seem to stop or stay
I’m always sewn up in the mid-seam, midstream
Think I’ll head the other way

And it's been hard, thank you
Every day I'm falling apart
It’s been hard, thank you
Take me back to the start
