Medicated

Written March 2004

Tab

you’re so lifeless when you’re high, at a party with a blank look in your eyes,
+++ and I’m sorry if I’m not the one whose idea of having fun
is to sit around and watch a good thing die..

you’re so shiny from the start, you make everything you do a work of art,
+++ yeah, but now your brand new medium is how you piss off everyone
who loved you, back before you pawned your heart..
+++++ ‘cause you’re so medicated,
+++++ and I think it’s overrated,
+++++ I don’t mean to overstate it,
+++++++ you’ll do what you wanna do,
+++++ when you’re so medicated,
+++++ (I) wish I could confiscate it,
+++++ I’m not your conscience,
+++++++ lately, I just miss the rest of you..
+++++++++ the rest of you was a little less buzzed,
+++++++++ a little more clear, a little more here,
+++++++++ the rest of you was the part that I loved,
+++++++++ when did it disappear?..

are you lonely when you wake beside the arbitrary love you make?
+++ and I’m sorry if I’m not the boy to join you on your ride of joy
with all the other pills you like to take,
+++++ ‘cause you’re so medicated,
+++++ and I think it’s overrated,
+++++ I don’t mean to overstate it,
+++++++ you’ll do what you wanna do,
+++++ when you’re so medicated,
+++++ I’d like to confiscate it,
+++++ I am not your conscience,
+++++ lately, I just miss the rest of you..
+++++++ the rest of you was the part that I loved…
