LYRICS

All these relief-givers
The needle sure revs in the red
Chemicals like hugs from inside
they feel like my best friend

You think me a coward but I am a warrior
With many voices in my head
When I looked around and I reached out
I saw no alternative

God rest, God rest our souls
And this substance is the only comfort I know

He's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this man some slack
Let him lie down, let him lie down

We are a country desperate for the embryonic
I'm cold and I'm hungry and
I yearn for a hand on my forehead

You think it's a walk in the park and it's easy
"She's got it as good as it gets"
This misunderstanding's the line between living
or being the walking dead

And God rest, please rest our souls
And the more I take, the less comfort I know
She's been pushing for a while
Can we cut this woman slack
Let her lie down, let her lie down

The more that you hurl at me
The more I will curl up in my bed
where's the humanity?
Aren't we all hovering around the same end?

Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises
that aren't real enough to be kept
You wish me a speedy recovery
But when you turn I plumb the depths

And God rest, God please rest our souls
This is the surest exit I have known
We've been hurting for a while
Can we cut ourselves some slack
Let us lie down, let us lie down
Let us lie down, let me lie down
