The Medication Is Wearing Off

Song byEels

see this watch she gave me?

well it still ticks away

the days I'm climbing back for me

the medication's wearing off

gonna hurt not a little, a lot

keep on tickin' you're not lickin' me

step on a crack break your mother's heart

red light green light black

suicide e-mail do not delete

plug it back in the jack

start to be what they want you to be

and you see yourself as they see you

sunsrise at the corner of

sunset and alvarado

I think what the hell do I do now

watch the day disintegrate

so I can stay up late and wait

see this watch she gave me?

well it still ticks away
