Sedated Songtext
von Hozier

Just a little rush, babe
To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me
Just a little hush, babe
Our veins are busy but my heart′s in atrophy
Any way to distract and sedate
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

You and I nursing on a poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Some whiff of this, death and guts
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it

Something isn't right, babe
I keep catching little words, but the meaning′s thin
I'm somewhere outside my life, babe
I keep scratching, but somehow I can't get in
So, we′re slaves to any semblance of touch
Lord we should quit but we love it too much


Sedated we′re nursing on a poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Some whiff of this, death and guts
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it

Darlin', don′t you, stand there watching, won't you
Come and save me from it
Darlin′, don't you, join in, you′re supposed to
Drag me away from it

Any way to distract and sedate
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

You and I nursing on a poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Some whiff of this, death and guts
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it

Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Some whiff of this, death and guts
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we can feel none of it
