[Verse 1]
Feeling the breeze of change
Lethargy rolls over me again
Like sap over a midge
Is it real or just pretend?
It's alive in the dark
And it knows where I'm gonna be
Forever returning, again and again
Into the house, into the den
[Pre-Chorus]
Elastic stretched and strained
I know I could change
This shirt is ripped and stained
You're pushing familiar drugs again
[Chorus]
You're pushing in (You're pushing in)
I can't resist (Can't resist)
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
[Verse 2]
Feeling the turning tides

Right down the fucking drain
Into my lungs, into my veins
[Pre-Chorus]
Elastic stretched and strained
I know I could change
This shirt is ripped and stained
You're pushing familiar drugs again
[Chorus]
You're pushing in (You're pushing in)
I can't resist (Can't resist)
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing in (You're pushing in)
I can't resist (Can't resist)
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
[Post-Chorus]
Familiar drugs again
Familiar drugs again
Again, again
[Outro]
You're pushing familiar drugs
(You're pushing, you're pushing)
You're pushing familiar drugs again
You keep pushing familiar drugs
(You keep pushing, you keep pushing)
You're pushing familiar drugs again (Again and again)
