lyrics

Oh Lady I.V.
Oh haven’t you heard
So much is said
In the space between words

Carve out all the footprints
Making shapes on the floor
Keep out all the strangers
They rattle your door

They came at me in a nightmare
Nobody wanted to leave me alone

Oh Lady I.V.
All the colors go black
Moreso than morphine
I’ll come if you ask

Swearin’ and swearin’
It’s becoming apparent
That sanity’s overrated
I say I ain’t going on back

I tried to escape through the window
They dragged me back in and they left me alone

I had me a thought and I shared it
They gave me a pill, I swallowed it whole

I know you get me
You blacken my eyes
So much and I see
The cables that bind me

Everyone’s swearin’ and swearin’
It’s becoming apparent
That sanity’s overrated
I say I ain’t going on back

They stifled my breath with a pillow
Everyone’s seeing but nobody knows

They burned all my words as I wrote them
Left me to watch as the ashes grow cold

Oh Lady I.V.
Oh haven't you heard
So much is said
In the space between words
