Sedated

Just a little rush babe

To feel dizzy to derail the mind of me

Just a little hush babe

Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy

Any way to distract and sedate

Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Some whiff of this death and guts

We are deaf we are numb

Free and young and we can feel nothing

Something isn't right babe

I keep catching the words but the meaning's thin

I'm somewhere outside my life babe

I keep scratching but somehow I can't get in

So we're slaves to any semblance of touch

Lord we should quit but we love it too much

Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Some whiff of this death and guts

We are deaf we are numb

Free and young and we can feel nothing

Darlin' don't you stand there watching won't you

Come and save me from it

Darlin' don't you join in you're supposed to

Drag me away from it

Any way to distract and sedate

Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Some whiff of this death and guts

We are deaf we are numb

Free and young and we can feel nothing

Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung

Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Some whiff of this death and guts

We are deaf we are numb

Free and young and we can feel nothing
