in my gown too slow and white
in my gown too new to die
take my mouth and take my eyes
take my name untie my ties
give me pills to make me sleep
tell me what I cannot eat
tell me how to do my hair
dress me up or strip me bare
anaesthetise anaesthetise
anaesthetise anaesthetise
make me laugh make me cry
tell me to stop asking why
make life precious make me old
make me do what I am told
take my words take my fears
take my thoughts take my years
tell me when to go to bed
tell me what I should have said
anaesthetise anaesthetise
anaesthetise anaesthetise
