my own worst enemy

well i cut my teeth on a dirty cloth
a butterfly dressed like a moth
spill my heart in equal dose, in measures i once chose
and drip-feed them my cough

go on choke it down
go on choke it down
go on choke it down
choke down the remedy

MEDICATION ... SAVE ME FROM MYSELF ... WATER DOWN EVERYTHING I'M THINKING
ANAESTHETISE MY BROKEN BONES ... SAVE ME FROM MYSELF ... I'M MY OWN WORST ENEMY


well i jump through hoops on dangled rope
drink the voodoo like i'm told
sleep with snakes their tongues all forked, dribble as i talk
i swallow down my hope

go on choke it down
go on choke it down
go on choke it down
choke down the remedy

MEDICATION ... SAVE ME FROM MYSELF ... WATER DOWN EVERYTHING I'M THINKING
ANAESTHETISE MY BROKEN BONES ... SAVE ME FROM MYSELF ... I'M MY OWN WORST ENEMY
