Take all the numbness away
So I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal, I have to feel again

No!

What can you give me when waking up makes me feel I've got no room to breathe
Would you commit me if I was admitting that someone's always after me
We're over-medicated, complicating every little issue
Push a new prescription for each symptom or the sickness gets you

If the fever isn't broken
Double the dosage
Double the dosage
If the laceration's open
Double the dosage
Double the dosage

My body and my brain are breaking
I'll take the strongest stuff that they're making
Oh God, tell me where all the pain went
I'm sewing up your incisions
I'm throwing up your chemical wisdom

Take all the numbness away
So I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal, I have to feel again

I guess it helps me but side effects seem to make me jump off of a bridge
Is there something that they're scripting to bring my soul back from the dead
We're over-medicated, complicating every little issue
Push a new prescription for each symptom or the sickness gets you

If the fever isn't broken
Double the dosage
Double the dosage
If the laceration's open
Double the dosage
Double the dosage

My body and my brain are breaking
I'll take the strongest stuff that they're making
Oh God, tell me where all the pain went
I'm sewing up your incisions
I'm throwing up your chemical wisdom

Take all the numbness away
So I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal, I have to feel again

My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
Need more than a chemical remedy
My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
Need more than a chemical remedy
My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
Need more than a chemical remedy
My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
I need more

If the fever isn't broken
Double the dosage
Double the dosage

My body and my brain are breaking
I'll take the strongest stuff that they're making
Oh God, tell me where all the pain went
I'm sewing up your incisions
I'm throwing up your chemical wisdom

Take all the numbness away
So I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal
I have to feel again
