Find A Way To Cope

I’ve got to find a way to cope

Got to find a rope

To hang my cocaine queen

Fighting for a dream

In my nightmares

In my raging fears

I have to cope

So I give in

I go down

I give in

I find the line to turn my mind

So you say I won’t survive

But my being alive

Is burning up your eyes

You told me to be silent

Told me to be quiet

But I’m here to start a little riot

You told me to sit still

You told me nothing I am is real

So go ahead

Tell me to be silent

Tell me to be quiet

But I’m going to start a little riot

You lied to me

Abandoned me

In my lack of reality

You used me

But you won’t destroy me

‘Cause I’ve got a river burning in desire

This isn’t my fire

So I’m gonna tell you once again

You better see the light again

Now I’m breathing

Beating

Bleeding

Seeing

I’m bleeding

But I won’t stop believing
