lyrics

Visiting hours are never enough, its the time in between where I hurt the most.
With a medicinal scent and the thoughts in my head,
on my own.
As you're asleep in our bed, my side is as cold as a ghost.

Tangled and tied in a dress of wires and tubes.
As a nurse tries to ease me, her soft voice says
"You're not leaving here any time soon"
That medicinal scent, it takes over my head and consumes.
As you're asleep in our bed, I'm dreaming of being there too

Because hospitals are like hotels I cannot stand,
and this sickness is like a holiday I've never planned.

The ambulance will be here soon,
I hear the sirens dance through the architecture of this town
Calls through international dials promise I will be fine
in a midnight hour.
Lights whirl around me, Accident and Emergency rooms
as machines buzz around me hissing an ungodly tune.

Take these drips from my veins,
Oh I'd stand the pain if I could leave right now...
