Lyrics

Drip, drip, drip
It slowly feeds you
Opiates and saline
Drip, drip, drip
You're numb but aware
Nurse Ratched but less benign

Tap, tap, tap
So, can you feel it
Leeching off your emotions
Scratch, scratch, scratch
The blood flows freely
As you drink their potions

Calm and senseless
Drowsy, sedated
Willing and able
Downtrodden and hated
The trickle down effect
Leaves you breathless
The morphine they inject
Leaves you restless

Drip, drip, drip
It slowly feeds you
Opiates and saline
Drip, drip, drip
You're numb but aware
Nurse Ratched but less benign

Tap, tap, tap
So, can you feel it
Leeching off your emotions
Scratch, scratch, scratch
The blood flows freely
As you drink their potions

Calm and senseless
Drowsy, sedated
Willing and able
Downtrodden and hated
The trickle down effect
Leaves you breathless
The morphine they inject
Leaves you restless

Press the button for help
Someone will be with you
You have a number
In the queue
