High Dosage

Flat as sandpaper and twice as grating
Giving the patient one hell of a dose
Ask me the question but you know the answer
It rings in my ears and it clings to my clothes
But children and dogs always know
It's raining today and now my bones are aching
Wanting to give them a taste of my boots
We live in a world that has no need for lovers
Take hold of your heart pull it out by the roots
It's better to leave all the bedsheets unturned
It's better to leave it behind
But look a bit closer and you will find out
Why a good man is so hard to find
Think of the weather think of the ocean
And think of the moment when you're mouth went dry
Asking the question but knowing the answer
Unlike all the victims who never know why
Memory as empty as sky
Sharp as an icepick rusty and broken
Giving my doctors one hell of a dose
Light from the eyes coming just like a lantern
Ringing the bell and then cheating the host
But children..
