Lyrics

3AM I'm drunk again
My head is standing underneath my puke
So make it stop I'm getting off
Make it stop I'm getting off
Sedatives and dizzy spells			(Verse 1)
And smelling like a salad in my puke
So make it stop I'm getting off
Make it stop I'm getting off

Well slipped into a coma once again
Where's my organ donor, lend a hand		(Pre-Chorus)

So when you think you're all alone
No one's left to come around
Drop like flies and empathise
And I know that I will someday			(Chorus 1)
And I know that I will suffocate
Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate

One night stands and cheap regrets
I take another drag off of my cigarette
So stop, I'm getting off
Make it stop, I'm getting off			(Verse 2)
One last stop for one track mind
Just give me shelter, give me give me something
Make it stop, I'm getting off
Make it stop, I'm getting off

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus 1)
(Bridge)

So when you think you're all alone
No one's left to come around
Drop like flies and empathise
And I know that I will someday			(Chorus 2)
And I know that I will suffocate
And I know that I will someday
And I know that I will suffocate
Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate
