Lyrics:

Chemical restraint
Is coming down in endless coils
The caustic liquid in his bloodstream
Keeps him obedient and loyal

Blurry forms and figures of
Faces he once knew
Surround his filthy bed
Unsteady waves keep coming through

The straps that hold his arms down
Exist only in his mind
Ears buzzing madly in the silence
Teardrops flow from blinded eyes

Things have gone too far now
His brain is scrambled like an egg
Kept immobile by a drug that makes him
Squirm and whine and beg

No one cares if they can't see
The drug that's killing you and me
Apathy make slaves of us all
It traps us in its breathing wall

The man who thinks rebellion
Comes in a bottle is a fool
It only makes him more submissive
Makes him conform to all the rules

He brought himself to this dark place
Without much of a choice
And in a single blinding instant
Robbed himself of his own voice

No one cares if they can't see
The drug that's killing you and me
Apathy make slaves of us all
It traps us in its breathing wall

The drug can steal our will
And our ability to care
It can make us believe in something
That maybe really isn't there

Once the drug is tasted
The craving grows with each new day
Pain will subside only temporarily
And never fully go away

No one cares if they can't see
The drug that's killing you and me
Apathy make slaves of us all
It traps us in its breathing wall
