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 my 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 3x



I 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



I've got to medicate myself again
