AMPHETAMINE

(album: A Call To The Void - 2023)

Knock me out before you leave 'cause I'm not alright
Hold me down 'cause I'm restless all through the night
Drag me through open doors of the Betty Ford
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine

I can't sleep, the monsters under my bed are now
On TV parading round in their paper crowns
And it's hard to ignore like I did before
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine

Wade through the shit in my mind
Thrashing and beating combined
Stressing regression is winning this time
Flawed by design

New world disorder at war
Bullets that litter school halls
Hate and sedate is the law
Power-hungry carnivores

Sleepless nights a curse of modern life
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine
Bite my nails I paint with cyanide
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine

Suck me dry, under rule of parasites
Watch them try, sell a sacrificial suicide
Bleach my eyes and my mind in a world unkind
And dose me with amphetamine

Sleepless nights a curse of modern life
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine
Bite my nails I paint with cyanide
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine

Do they want us dead or alive?
I can tell that either one would be just fine
Endlessly empty, consuming up the time
They love to tell you that it's all in your mind

Knock me out before you leave 'cause I'm not alright
Hold me down 'cause I'm restless all through the night
Drag me through open doors of the Betty Ford
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine

Sleepless nights a curse of modern life
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine
Bite my nails I paint with cyanide
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine

Sleepless nights a curse of modern life
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine
Bite my nails I paint with cyanide
'Cause they dose me with amphetamine
