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
