I feel smothered and encumbered and defeated and drawn

Disappointed, overextended and frustrated and shaken

This over-giving, over-loving

This care-taking goes on

With no chance of intermission,

I'll be checked out, I'll be gone How to remove myself from sensation? Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling and reach for the drug

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb I feel anxious, I am nervous, I am bored

I'm overwhelmed; rather be out of my gourd How to remove myself from sensation? Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling and reach for the drug

Can't sit with this feeling;

I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb I am lonely, I feel hungry and unloved

I feel angry, I am livid, need a hug Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling and reach for the drug

Can't sit with this feeling

I'd rather be flying and comfortably numb
