Tranquilized

Losing control was not my goal
I got lost
What will it cost?
What will I do when I'm through?

Drinking in the smoking room
Trying to tranquilize
I can never leave this room
'Cause I know what's outside

On my street the sound of feet
Makes me cough
And the brakes on the bus
How they squeal, that's how it feels

Watch TV, oh well, it's free
And I'm bored
And all that I do never gets through

Smoking in the living room
Huddled by the heat
Listen to the children scream
Coming from the street

This isn't me behind the screen
It's my sleep
I despise, I'm such a prize
I'm tranquilized

I can see that it's not me
That you want
And I realize I'm such a prize
I'm tranquilized
