Vicodin

(album: Hyperkinesis - 2012)

It makes you behave like the village drunkard
In some early Irish novel
Total loss of all basic motor skills
Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue
The mind recoils in horror, unable to
Communicate with the spinal column
Which is interesting, because you can actually
Watch your self behaving in this terrible way
But you can't control it

Yeah
This is a song dedicated to
My one and only love
It goes something like this
Check it, yeah

Vicodin, vicodin
Take you every time before I go in
Don't understand relations, I've no friends
I'm so high, t's why I'm so dim

On the sofa sitting, high again
Stare into the mirror, "hi the end!"
A constant thought, will I die or win?
Tylenol, Klonopin, Vicodin

Yeah, stumble through the bathroom
Vomit on the floor
Vomit on the walls
And some vomit on this door
Blood on this handkerchief, tears on this shirt
A pad and pen to note down all the years that I've been hurt
These pills they make it work, they drown all the pain out
They put me to sleep, and for a day or two, I stay out
Don't understand people, they don't understand me
You put a smile on my face, so I guess I'm happy
Yeah, vision blurry, and my hands feel dry
My legs are shaky and I slur, slur
***
... man I can't say a fucking word
These people think they know me
When I do not know myself
They act all worried bout my health
But I don't feel compelled
To care about their caring
Self-centered and I'm selfless
I'm just a waste of space then
No wonder I feel helpless, ha

Vicodin, Vicodin, uh, Vicodin, uh
I love you
You're the only one that takes the pain away
As cheesy as it sounds, yeah

Vicodin, vicodin
Take you every time before I go in
Don't understand relations, I've no friends
I'm so high, t's why I'm so dim

On the sofa sitting, high again
Stare into the mirror, "hi the end!"
A constant thought, will I die or win?
Tylenol, Klonopin, Vicodin

It goes Vico, Vico, Vicodin
Vico, Vico, Vicodin
Vico, Vico, Vicodin
Vico, Vico, Vicodin
Vico, Vico, Vicodin
Goodbye
