With the lady in my veins I'm feeling kinda strange Falling in and out of consciousness Think the lady wants my brain My brain is a blob of mush Nothing but the lady in my brain To make me go insane Insane like a bunny in a cage Insane like my brain But the lady keeps me sane Makes my head twirl sets me in a whirl My hands shake Ears ring Clocks tick tick ticking Body rocking back and forth Soon needing another fix Another fix Another useless vein Another drop and I'll be fine Another sip of liquor Help me forget Let the day slip away Away in another ambulance Away to another rehab A place that keeps me real
Out of sight
Out of light
Away from hope
Needing the lady in my vein
To rock me forth and back
To make the clock keep tick tick ticking
To make me pace back and forth
To lay numb on the floor
The floor wrapping around me
Sinking into the stale carpet
Vials of the lady surrounding me
keeping me happy
Nothing like this can be forgotten
The relief I feel when
the rush hits my veins
The need for the lady in my veins
To sweep me off my feet
