Sedated
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Anyway 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
Somewhere for this death and guns
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it
Something isn't right, babe
I keep catching little 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
Somewhere for this death and guns
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it
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
Anyway 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
Somewhere for this death and guns
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it
Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Somewhere for this death and guns
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it
