Sedated

The world bends to your excess Show me your hands, then your success Enjoy your stay in this ivory tower Laugh along while wasting your power Go have your cake, then slowly wonder Why some escape six feet under Suicide has found its theme Also known as the american dream Forced into a role I won't play Until I see the price that I cannot pay All this wisdom seems so overrated My mind is no prison when I'm sedated When I close my eyes I cannot sway All I hear you say is "not today" These sensations are overrated Life is no prison when I'm sedated Clammy hands reach out until They hack your brain and break your will No echoed sigh, no hopeful tune When you feel left all alone But don't give in, hold onto your breath Sometimes life feels scarier than death There's still hope, you may not see But someday we will be free Forced into a role I won't play Until I see the price that I cannot pay All this wisdom seems so overrated My mind is no prison when I'm sedated When I close my eyes I cannot sway All I hear you say is "not today" These sensations are overrated Life is no prison when I'm sedated
