Medicate Myself

The Verve Pipe

(Underneath)



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...



Chorus:

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 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 the fight is over

You will stay right here

And I will be gone

So I...



Chorus
