Verve Pipe Medicate Myself
I hear you're cryin' for me
But I see the anger in your eyes
I want what will not judge me
I need what keeps me warm inside
A man without a purpose
Stares from the mirror on the wall
You think you know my problems
I think that you don't know me at all
I don't believe I suffer
Disease as you proclaim
And I don't believe that I should kneel
And hang my head in shame
Held prisoner by a monkey
Strapped on behind my back
And while I sit ablaze
The light is slowly fading into the black
So I, I've got to medicate myself again
I've got to medicate myself again
I've got to medicate myself again
'Cause you don't need me hanging 'round
One more drink and I will be drowned
I know you hate to see me
As I defeat myself this way
You know you can't control me
You know I'm slipping day by day
Down into my obsession
Down in the hole where I belong
And when this fight is over
You will stay right here and I will be gone
So I, I've got to medicate myself again
I've got to medicate myself again
I've got to medicate myself again
'Cause you don't need me hanging 'round
Yeah one more drink and I will be drowned
I've found you broken, and lying on the floor
An empty bottle in the drain
I put my hand right through the kitchen door
I've got to medicate myself again
'Cause you don't need me hanging 'round
I barely get my coat off and you're already
Crawling down my back again
Yeah, you get to watch me sinking down
One more drink and I will be drowned
Got to medicate myself again
I've got to medicate myself again
I've got to medicate myself again
I've got to medicate myself again
