Tonight I can’t sleep because I’m haunted
So I’m breaking spells of intention
All I can see is the space in between
The space where you’re missing
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
Now, I’m not sure you ever were
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
So guided bound and willed
When the bar dried up
You were already gone
Rooms that I once lived in
Rooms that I’ve since left
There’s another life that I might have had
I know the feeling well of longing
For something that’s lost
I feel you like a phantom limb
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
Now, I’m not sure you ever were
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
So guided bound and willed
When I sobered up
You were already gone
If this wine hasn’t turned to vinegar there’s enough to pour a drink
But just one drink won’t be enough
To put myself to sleep
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
Now, I’m not sure you ever were
I once was drunk on you
So very stoned, fully compelled
So guided bound and willed
When the bar dried up
When I sobered up
You were already gone
And I’m shit out of luck
