The Verve Pipe Follow

Written by Donny Brown

I hear you cryin' for me

But I see the anger in your eyes

I want what will not judge me

I need what keeps me warm inside

A man without a purpose

Stares from the mirror on the wall

You think you know my problems -

I think that you don't

Know me at all

I don't believe I suffer

Disease as you proclaim

And I don't believe that I should kneel

And hang my head in shame

Held prisoner by a monkey

Strapped on behind my back

And while I sit ablaze

The light is slowly fading

Into the black

So I...

I've got to medicate myself again

I've got to medicate myself again

I've got to medicate myself again

Cuz you don't need me hanging ‘round

One more drink and I will be drowned

I know you hate to see me

As I defeat myself this way

You know you can't control me

You know I'm slipping day by day

Down into my obsession

Down in the hole where I belong

And when the fight is over

You will stay right here

And I will be gone

So I...

(repeat chorus)
