Self Medicate - Dirge Within

I am diseased

Can’t take the pain

I’d rather die than be alive

Inside of the sobriety

Fuel the fire with the weed and the pills and the booze that will set me free

Throw it away, throw it away

This is my new reckoning

Now here me scream

The suffering

It burns like gasoline

So I self medicate the pain

To escape this world of shame

Obscurity leads to severity

So I self medicate the pain

To escape this world I hate

I self medicate

I am dizzy

From suffocating on the lies you feed

Deny deny your hope of sanity

Fuel the fire with the weed and the pills and the booze that will set me free

Throw me away, blow me away, throw me away

This is my new reckoning

Now here me scream

The suffering

It burns like gasoline

So I self medicate the pain

To escape this world of shame

Obscurity leads to severity

So I self medicate the pain

To escape this world I hate

I self medicate

Standing above myself and watching a part of me die

I see it all just starting to fade away

Though it’s true I’ve always wondered

How I would say goodbye to myself

So now I fall again

And I can not pretend

There is no resurrection

So now I fall again

Now hear me scream

I am diseased

Can’t take the pain I’d rather die than be alive

Inside of the sobriety

Fuel the fire with the weed and the pills and the booze that will set me free

Throw it away, throw it away, throw it away

The suffering

It burns like gasoline

So I self medicate the pain

To escape this world of shame

Obscurity leads to severity

So I self medicate the pain

To escape this world I hate

I self medicate
