What It Takes

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Ever been rock-bottomAt the bottom of a bottle?And you're just all by yourselfLike you got a million reasonsTo grab a forty and squeeze itJust to put an end to this hellIt only numbs the painI'll tell you what it takesIt takes the soul from your bodyRips your heart out your chestMakes you feel like you're nothin'But just a waste of breathYou don't wanna see the Sun tomorrowDon't wanna face another daySuddenly, your life goes down the drainYeah, that's what it takesThere's a silver-tongued devilTellin' me that I'll neverMake it out the hole that I'm inI'm runnin' outta optionsOnce it starts, I can't stop itIt's just a means to an endIt only numbs the painIt takes the soul from your bodyRips your heart out your chestMakes you feel like you're nothin'But just a waste of breathYou don't wanna see the Sun tomorrowDon't wanna face another daySuddenly, your life goes down the drainYeah, that's what it takesIt only numbs the painI'll tell you what it takesIt takes the soul out your bodyRips your heart out your chestMakes you feel like you're nothin'But just a waste of breathYou don't wanna see the Sun tomorrowDon't wanna face another daySuddenly, your life goes down the drainYeah, that's what it takes
