Gathering Stripes - Shut Down

Slap on the wrist
Shows the veins that I've missed
This is all that I need
To suffice
Voice on the phone
Makes me feel more alone
And I fall back into
My old vice

Run from the itch
It's an absolute bitch
Skin will tear, flesh will slice
To the bone
Scream down the line
A second chance one more time
Fall asleep with some cheap
Methadone

Medicate! Medicate!
This is what I want and what I need
It's all I know
Medicate! Medicate!
Taking everything that I can get
My hands on

Fuck with my brain
'Till I feel no more pain
Validate I was done
From the start
Drill to the source
Novocaine no remorse
Intravenous shock
To the heart

Medicate! Medicate!
This is what I want and what I need
It's all I know
Medicate! Medicate!
Taking everything that I can get
My hands on

When I go to close my eyes
You were always there
Separate and cauterize
A clinical nightmare

Medicate! Medicate!
This is what I want and what I need
It's all I know
Medicate! Medicate!
Taking everything that I can get
My hands on
I am ready for the momentary lapse
I am ready to shut down
I am ready for the coronary collapse
I am ready to shut down

Medicate! Medicate!
This is what I want and what I need
It's all I know
Medicate! Medicate!
Taking everything that I can get
My hands on
