By some miracle
My senses are powering on
Seemingly empirical
The chemicals are nearly gone
Pushing through my veins
Reviving the pains
And the strains
And the drawl
Normally afraid
But today I want to feel it all
Such a tempting stratagem
To duck and cover it up
I had them check for pathogens
And I dumped some piss in a cup
Unusually shy
Or feasibly terrified, I stood by
Waiting for the room to go black
Waiting for my love to come back
And I saw your reflection
In the mirror on the wall
Tonight
Heavily medicate
Give up the ghost and resign
Chemically compensate
Go out with not a whimper nor a whine
And when I can't align with reality
Nothing else can set me at ease
It's like I'm suddenly a detainee
Patiently awaiting my release
And in the nick of time
In the thick of the sublime
You walked out the door
Ignored, I implored
But what for?
Let's try this once more
Is it working?
Oh, will I feel it in my head?
"Not yet"
I guess they'll need to up the dosage again
But I heard your inflection
Lying on your side of the bed
Tonight
I wanna know
Are you all right?
Oh, anesthesiologist
Oh, anesthesiologist
You gotta let me feel again, all right
Oh, anesthesiologist
Anesthesiologist
Let me feel it tonight
Don't you wanna come back?
