I'll be a life size

cutout of all your faults

open up your wounds

I will be the salt



no intermission

no time to rest

this is the real thing

this is not a test



chorus

you're the elusive drug

that keeps me from myself

when I reach for you

you're healing someone else

an addiction comes so sudden

oh, it comes so sweet

the elusive drug has me beat



your the epitome of

what you hate about me

you inspire me

to be more like you



and it pleases me

to see you so frustrated

growing intimidated, agitated

cause I'm just like you



chorus



and you pick on my imperfections

and you put 'em out on show

you're well worn crown of compliments

I will never know



chorus out
