Medicate Myself Lyrics - Verve Pipe

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
