Just a little rush, babe
F
To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me

Just a little hush, babe

Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy

Any way to distract and sedate
Dm Am F C
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave
Am Em F C Dm
You and I nursing on a poison that never stung
Em Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Am Em F
Some whiff of this death and guts

We are deaf, we are numb
Em Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it

Something isn't right, babe

I keep catching the words but the meaning's thin

I keep scratching but somehow I can't get in

Drag me away from it
