Sedated

Just a little rush, babe

To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me

Just a little hush, babe

My 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

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

Darling, don't you stand there watching

Won't you come and save me from it?

Darling, 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

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
