Potions and Powders Songtext
von Ducking Punches

I know you have a cold tongue
And I have a glass frame
I broke my back carrying you
Now we′re drowning in this flame

Self-destructions is what you do best
You've got it to a fine art
You can′t remember your last meal
Since that time he broke your heart
Since that time I broke your heart

Your father said you'd be just fine
But did he realise you'd be drunk on wine
At ten in the morning with smoke on your breath
A pain in your head and a pain in your chest


He calls
He calls
He calls
He calls you.
But the phone rings dead and he fears the worst for you
He kicks down the door and he sees the pills and you
He picks you up as he tries to save you

Our father said you′d be just fine
But did he realise you′d be drunk on wine
At ten in the morning with smoke on your breath
A pain in your head and a pain in your chest
You're blinded by overhead lights
Nurses in white coats that have saved your life
You roll your shoulder to the right
You say, "Dad, I feel so alive!"
