NORTHBROOK LYRICS

"Cold Hearts = Cold Blood; Therefore, We Must Be Reptiles"

Doctor, doctor, search your remedies
This time, bedrest is the last thing I need

Addicted to our promiscuity
We fall asleep in the perfect stranger's sheets
Confused by lust, we think we've found love's true meaning
Never waking up to realize it was only a dream

We're using the sex so recklessly
For cleaning our conscience, and sleeping unconscious
We're so caught up in the ecstasy
Of waking up in a different bed every day

Shallow hearts are a contagious disease
Spread from Hollywood thrills and urban magazines
If this is a sickness, an epidemic's been witnessed
And I've got the remedy in melody
Is this how love is supposed to feel?
Like a highway where we're drunk at the wheel?
If this is a sickness, an epidemic's been witnessed
And I've got the remedy in melody

The cold morning sun saved me from my comatose
As i was drowning alone, between her blankets and my hopes
Naivety had me buried six feet deep
Under the impression that she'd always wake up next to me

You're just a chauffeur who so furtively arranged
To promise me rides for alcohol in exchange
And you blame the other drivers' mistakes
As my head's in the windshield, and you leave unscathed

Shallow hearts are a contagious disease
Spread from Hollywood thrills and urban magazines
If this is a sickness, an epidemic's been witnessed
And I've got the remedy in melody
Is this how love is supposed to feel?
Like a highway where we're drunk at the wheel?
If this is a sickness, an epidemic's been witnessed
And I've got the remedy in melody

We live in anxiety of rejection
So we self-medicate with sex
And overdose, clueless of the side effects
A loss of morality and self-respect
In the blink of an eye, all our integrity's gone
In the wake of one night where we didn't stand strong
We're all insecure, we all feel stripped down
Someone find a cure, because we're all gonna drown

The doctor came in, and said "wake up, wake up"
And the nightmare's were gone as we opened our eyes
Conscious, our consciences took control
Of our maturing minds, as we realized

Shallow hearts are a contagious disease
Spread from Hollywood thrills and urban magazines
If this is a sickness, an epidemic's been witnessed
And I've got the remedy in melody
Is this how love is supposed to feel?
Like a highway where we're drunk at the wheel?
If this is a sickness, an epidemic's been witnessed
And I've got the remedy: maturity
