american authors - can't stand the mourning lyrics

[verse 1]
i know death and taxes, they can’t be out run
i thought i’d have more time before the race begun
lost my father at twenty and i lost you last week
how can i cope, i still haven’t found me
i’ve tried different religions and psychic hotlines
must be someway to hear your laugh one more time
so i self+medicate to stay comfortably numb
knowing sooner or later ya my day will come

[chorus]
i need chemicals to sleep
to see you in my dreams
if i take enough maybe one day we’ll spеak
oh, when i wake back up
you won’t be thеre to talk
these photos and voicemails of you aren’t enough
let me close my eyes
’cause i can’t stand the mourning
let me close my eyes
’cause i can’t stand the mourning

[verse 2]
all my friends and my therapist tell me stay strong
but i haven’t hit the gym in well, god knows how long
all my smiles and tattoos are doing their part
they’re all putting in overtime to cover my scars

when i tell you the truth, you say, it’s all a lie
so i’ll pour one out and pour my heart into a drink
’cause i’d rather pay for whiskey than a mid+level shrink
[chorus]
i need chemicals to sleep
so i’ll see you in my dreams
if i take enough maybe one day we’ll speak
oh, when i wake back up
you won’t be there to talk
these photos and voicemails of you aren’t enough
let me close my eyes
’cause i can’t stand the mourning
let me close my eyes
’cause i can’t stand the mourning
