Lyrics:
Dark Nights by Chad Lewine
OxyContin, heroin, synthetic good time
Face melting, just need a dime
I gotta get high
Not gonna get by
Gonna die, die, gonna die
May as well enjoy the ride
Why the drugs got us?
Pop and lock jaw
Slurring words
Climbing higher
Body’s on fire, joints on ice
Bodies on fire all night
Dark nights
In the city, a bubble
In trouble, pay with your life double
Your life, your gift
What you gonna do with it?
Gotta get high, get by
Gonna die, die, gonna die
May as well enjoy the ride
I’m gonna die
Why the drugs got us?
Pop and lock jaw
Slurring words
Climbing higher
Body’s on fire, joints on ice
Bodies on fire all night
Dark nights
I’m so glad that you’re with me
I’m so glad that you’re with me yeah
You know the drugs they got us
Making bad decisions
And then nobody listens
So we cry, or we die
You know the drugs they got us
Making bad decisions
Nobody fucking listens
‘Til we die
They got us, pop and lock jaw
Slurring words, climbing higher
Body’s on, body’s on, body’s on fire
All night, dark, dark, dark nights
Why the drugs got us?
Pop and lock jaw (whoa)
Slurring words (it’s a dark night)
Climbing higher (cutting right through the pain)
Body’s on fire (right through the pain)
Joints on ice (gonna feel good again)
Bodies on fire (I’m here for you baby)
All night (through the dark night my friend)
Dark
Why the drugs got us? (yeah)
Pop and lock jaw (through the dark night)
Slurring words
Climbing higher (I said cutting right through the pain)
Body’s on fire (right through the pain)
Joints on ice (gonna feel good again)
Bodies on fire (I’m here for you baby)
All night (through the dark night my friend)
Dark nights
