Lead the burden across my shoulders


Pour the effluent on thick





Placate, sedate, eradicate


Am I worthy to carry the weight?





Wage a war on my prone feelings


Anaesthetised and numb





Placate, sedate, eradicate


Strangely calm when I should be enraged





Placate, sedate


Placate, sedate


Eradicate





Don't befriend the silver screen


As long as others face / firing lines


Recline, relax take it / in your stride


Be the voyeur





Tamed by rabid entertainers


Engrossed in real life hell





Placate, sedate, eradicate
