lyrics

What’s the use?
Why begin?
No one wants to hear the tale.
Cut me loose
and pack it in
before I regale.
I give up.
I give in.
I’d give anything.
Merciful Vicodin
won’t you kill that sting?

Why do I deserve
a red alert from my every nerve?
Take my senses out.
I’ll give you something to cry about.
Oh tell me your secret.
I swear I’ll keep it
locked up in chains.
I will take pains.

Are you my mama?

Why do I deserve
a red alert from my every nerve?
Keep me numb and dumb
until the feverish nightmares come.
Oh you are the answer.
Sweet necromancer
I’ll wear your chains.
I will take pains.

Where was I?
Care to try
keeping me awake?
High and dry
by and by
just for mercy’s sake.
Tolerance
wearing thin.
Merciful Vicodin
Let me in.
