Lyrics: Matthew Thomas Lehman
Music: Matthew Thomas Lehman
Drowning in the bed that I have made
Can't break the cycle
Voices in my head keep me away
Put out my fires with kerosene
Fan the flames
Fill my head with broken dreams
Feeling like my days are numbered
Try to keep my head above water
I can't live
In these chains
I can't change
Choking down the novocaine
Locked up and infected
But I'm still searching for the answers
Break away from this cage
This can't be the death of me
I'm done with your prescription
I won't let you medicate me
Yeah, it's been a long time coming
But it's not like it's all been for nothing
I know I'll survive
Why is life such a hard pill to swallow?
We medicate but we still feel so hollow
I guess that's why we always reach for the bottle
To drown out these voices but they always seem to follow
In these chains
I can't change
Choking down the novocaine
Locked up and infected
But I'm still searching for the answers
Break away from this cage
This can't be the death of me
I'm done with your prescription
I won't let you medicate me
I can't feel anything anymore
I can't feel
Break away from this cage
This can't be the death of me
I'm done with your prescription
I won't let you medicate me
