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 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 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
