Heavy feeling, refill my way to the sky

Doctor's orders: take some more; I'm hearing knocks at the door

So what? (Because it)

Now what? (Is an axe)

Meddling family stay away

Doctor, your patients are here

Hey, across the counter

I swallow blackouts

I still picture all of what happened the day I got locked in my head

(Soma)

(Silenced) Up 'til the end

(So long)

And I'm losing my patients

Now I've lost all my patience
