Verve Pipe, The - Medicate Myself lyrics

I hear you 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
Cuz you don't need me hanging around
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 the 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
Cuz you don't need me hanging around
One more drink and I will be drowned


And I found you broken lyin' on the floor
An empty bottle in the drain
I put my head right through the kitchen door

I've got to medicate myself again
Cuz you don't need me hanging around
I barely get my coat off and
You're already crawlin down my back again
yeah you came to watch me sinkin down
one more drink and I will be drowned

I've 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
