I feel smothered and encumbered
And defeated and drawn
Disappointed, over-extended
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

Have to remove myself from sensation

Here comes the 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

Have to remove myself from sensation

Here comes the 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 the 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
