Shut the Door Lyrics

I break the surface so Ican breathe
I close my eyes so I can see

She's not breathing

    "I break the surface so I can breathe
    I close my eyes so I can see"
    Being high
    "I tie my arms to be free
    you ever been free?"
    Heroin (tying the arm)
    "She's not breathing
    She's not moving
    She's not coming back"
    OD
    "I burn a fire to stay cool"
    Probably pot, staying mellow is ref.d by cool.
    "I burn myself,
    I am the fuel"
    The self destruction in drugs
    "I never meant to be cruel
    Have you ever been cruel?"
    The selfishness and retaliation in confrontation.
    "She's not breathing
    She's not moving
    She's not coming back"
    OD
    "Shut the door so I can leave"
    Shutting the door of life behind you to get high.
