Dm Bb Gm A7
I feel smothered and encumbered and defeated and drawn
disappointed over-extended and frustrated and shaken
this over-giving over-loving this caretaking goes on
with no chance of intermission I'll be checked out I'll be gone
Dm Bb Gm A7
Have to remove myself from sensation
Dm Bb Gm A7
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 comfortabely numb
Dm Bb Gm A7
I feel anxious I am nervous I am bored
I'm overwhelmed rather be out of my gourd
Have to remove myself from sensation
(Chorus)
Dm Bb Gm A7
I am lonely I feel hungry and unloved
I feel angry I am livid need a hug
(Chorus)
